Re: downdraft carb
I’m not trying to answer your question because I’m sorting it all out for myself as well. I am curious though, do you know what carburetor your manifold was made for?

Re: downdraft carb
There is a guy here called Petes Speed Shop, makes a dual downdraught manifold for twin two bolt Holden Stromberg carbs which were common in this neck of the woods. There are probably other 60's 6 cyl Strombergs similar.
Original 97's are rare here. |

Re: downdraft carb
I have an old aluminum downdraft A intake (not for sale) that came with a downdraft one barrel from a straight six Ford flathead. Haven't tried it yet but looks like a decent improvement from stock. Maybe look for one of those carbs.
