Does anyone have an opinion comparing these Wheeler-Schebler carbs to a Stromberg OF carb. as to power , idle , economy, availability etc. ? Thanks in advance: Bruce

I have run one like it. This style does line up with the Ford hot air pipe. The valve at the bowl is an enriching needle for starting or as needed for richer mixture. As far as performance, my OP is they mirror the Strombergs but not as common. viewtopic.php?t=6568
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
