That's an easy one. A Stromberg 97 is so named for the size of it's venturi: .97". An 81 is .81", and a Ford 94 is .94" Alan

The Stromberg 97 venturi actually measures 31/32". Divide 31 by 32 and you get .96875, which is apparently rounded to .97 (and alot easier to put on the side of the carb body!)

Actually, either looks better than 3104/3200 on the carb body. Alan

So....what about the Stromberg 48? How did it become known as a model 48. The venturi is not .48" Maybe because it uses #48 jets or was it because it was first used on the Ford model 48? Also, how did the Stromberg model 40 get its model number? Was it possibly because it started out on the Ford model 40? JM This message was edited by JM on 6-16-11 @ 9:08 PM
