Just the same. But better than ever. A brand new genuine Stromberg 97 with an exact re-issue of the original Stromberg aftermarket cable choke lever and bracket for 1949-53 Fords. Available only from Stromberg Speed Parts.
Here are the highlights:
- Super-accurate pressure die-castings from new dies, CNC-machined for a blue-print parts fit. So no oversize screw threads. No mystery parts from previous rebuilds. No problems.
- Early style cast iron base with stock size – not second-best oversize – throttle shaft. Parkerized and black lacquered just like they used to be.
- Reinforced air horn casting with extra material around the float bowl lid to eliminate warping and leaks.
- Stock original (sea level) Stromberg jetting – 0.045 main jets and a number 65 power valve.
- 162cfm out of the box (independently verified) measured at 1.5inch Hg (same as they measure 4-bbl carbs).
- New brass float, made in USA on original Stromberg dies.
- Specially developed no-stick S-Jet inlet valve.
- Modern, high-tech, reinforced gaskets. No leaks.
- Stainless steel linkage throughout. Springs, accelerator pump rod, throttle linkage, choke plate, lever and more.
- Beautiful investment cast stainless steel throttle and accelerator pump levers.
- Correct pale chromate zinc treatment using the original Ford Service Bulletin process.
- Original-style riveted throttle and choke shafts.
- Extensive dyno and road tests have proved that it matches or exceeds original spec.
Note: Original hand throttle parts are not included. If you need them, email us; as we can probably find you good used parts.
Like any carburetor, the Genuine Stromberg 97 needs proper installation and tuning for optimum performance. Every 97 comes with a full installation guide and help with tuning at our Tech Center.
