Default Need a high altitude '36 carburetor

I have a very original 1936 Standard Tudor. I want to be in communication with a top carburetor guy who can put together/sell an original carburetor with the correct high altitude needles. I currently live at about 5,000 feet.

In its previous life the Tudor lived at sea level. My idea is to have two carburetors. One that I use at higher altitudes and another that I swap out when at lower altitudes.

I am relatively new to V8s and want to learn what I can to enjoy mine fully. Your ideas, comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Dean

Is this Mark's former tudor?

Don't have the paperwork but it previously belonged to an elderly gentleman from the San Diego area.

It's a low mileage survivor with a second coat of blue paint. The upholstery is original. It has won a Rogue Award from the V8 Club.

I thought it was the one Mark Williamson had and maybe even still has. It's similar, but his was black and I believe an original paint car.

No, Mark's car is a Black, Deluxe Tudor. He also is a very good friend who checked this car out before I bought it. Down in San Diego he and Gary Karr drove this car at 65 mph. That is one of the reasons that I bought a V8 after so many years in Model As. More comfort and a lot quicker. A hard combo to say no to.

I know Mark and Gary well. I’ve bought a lot of A parts from Gary, and a lot of super nice 36 parts from Mark. You and I have met many times before, usually at the now defunct San Diego swap meet. I usually keep a low profile at events.

Does the Stromberg 97 on your car have the very small "67" embossed in the top and mid sections? If not your Carb. is most likely a replacement. The difference between the standard 97 and the high altitude for 5,000' is .043" main jets. The standard is .045". All else is the same as the standard Carb. Max is the man for Strombergs.

Don't see any "67" on it.

I've sent Max a private message.

Max can supply you with a center body of a carb which is all you need. A standard screw driver and a 1/2 inch end wrench are the only tools you will need to change back and forth. It will take you about 3 minutes when you learn the routine.
Max can explain in detail.

In my early days of racing, I used to drive my car to the drag strip on gas, change the center bodies of the 4 carbs, run the races on alcohol/nitro, change the center bodies back to the gas ones and drive home. I had 2 tanks with a 2 way valve to change fuel.
