OK, ask Pete.."RaceJohnson" What is meant by GENTLE..
I had a great time visiting with Pete and working on Stromberg 97s, going to crusins and car shows..
Big age difference but no problem..Thats OK..I made a new friend..

Cool, I know who to go to now for parts! I spy one of Matts Geardrive intakes on the wall there....have you built a linkage for that yet?

:D Yep... Matts, parts..Known him for a long time..He came to California for a billet show. He had his merchandise sent to my house. We went together and sold..
I've built three of his intakes with linkage. I'll look for pictures and post them..The intake works great..It's only one carb for two cylinders. His design came from my Jim Lattin intake..
Duane..
What do you think of the 2x2 to 4x2..Check out the linkage..

I really like the side by side 4x2.  Are the carb bodies painted or replated?

Ryan..No paint or coating at all.. Just  nice clean 97s, light media blast.. Could clear coat them, but it gives them a yellow tint look..Not cool..

Thanks for the info.  I realize the climate you are in, but do they ever corrode or stain?

They won't corrode but will stain but that gives them a real natural look..

Ya, I had some trouble installing helicoils in stromberg bodies. I owe duane a 6 pack of helicoils.  "Gentle!" He'd say, and I'd f it up. Came back the next day and they'd be installed perfectly. Darn kids.
