Is this a small or large logo 81.

If it is a large logo it would be on the side of the carb just like a large logo 97.

Tom, the more I look at your carb I think that is a Holley and not a Stromberg. It is tough to tell from that side but I think it is.

It will work fine.....just worth about $200 less than a Stromberg 81.

If you do the math Tom it's still worth $45... if it's rebuilt...

let us know what is cast into each side and I'll look in my book and tell you what the year/model is.  Some had FORD, FOMOCO, Holley, Chandler Groves or a model # cast in one side and #'s or letters or nothing in the other side. I think there were about a dozen different styles offered from '38-'53.
