Keith,I took off the carb what you need and cleaned it all up looks good. I'll let you have it for free just pay my $6 shipping to you. The main tube is loose where its soldered to the big brass block but could be resoldered easily. ken ct .

I've had Stromberg carbs equipped with a tube attached to the center bowl plug with a longer hollow bolt. The tube extended to the top of the carb & the heater fuel supply was taken from there. This eliminated the need to drill the top. I believe it was a Stewart Warner part.

Yep, you're right. Just looked at the other photos I have. The fuel line comes out of the top of carb and the photo I posted is indeed the vac line. Very Sorry about the mix up. TonyM.

Tony, Thank you for your reply. You are describing the plate for vacuum supply not the gasoline supply. A similar plate is used for vacuum to Columbia rear ends.

My car, before I replaced the Type 59 carb and intake manifold with the correct pieces, came with a spacer in between the carb and intake manifold that fed the Southwind. I replaced the 59 Carb and incorrect intake. The spacer was for Type 59, so I don't think it will help you with the Type 97. Here is a photo. Perhaps you can find a similar set up for the Strom 97. . . . 78-73B

Having just had Uncle Max rebuild my Strom. 97 I hate the thought of drilling a hole in the top of the float bowl to supply fuel for my South wind gasoline heater. Has anybody figured out a different fuel supply source ?
