here is a good read on Strombergs from over on the HAMB forum https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/great-stromberg-tech-article.549969/ and another https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/rebuilding-stromberg-97s-any-tips.178840/

pic file is too large so you will need to resize them to maybe 480/640.

Oh forgot, here is good read from over on the hamb from Vintakes. Very good article. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/fuel-multi-carb-tips.77680/

just a short question. so you are running progressive linkage now with the primaries being the centers. When idling if you put your hand over the other sec. carbs is there vacuum present or are the throttle blades sealed tight?

Larry Fulton at www.HotRodCarbs.com in Montana was a big help for me fwiw

Don, tomorrow I am going to set up a dial indicator for #1 and determine exactly where TDC is with regard to the marks on the balancer. Figure this will give me a base line to work from. I know from yesterday that we were very close but we did not have a gauge. Your point on setting the timing...

Phil, this a 348 tripower that I bought from a friend over ten years ago. He had it stored in his garage for a long time before that. It appears that it is stock OEM 348 not a F code. Was a 4 bbl engine/powerglide that he put the 3x2's on so any guess is good on the balancer. It is one of the...

Thanks fellas for the input. I thought that you should be using the O for the base but the guy helping me said that we would not be able to get the engine back to 12 advance from the O without stalling the engine! I am going to work at this tomorrow to see if I can improve on this thing a bit...

The confusing part of this is that at idle we are at 12 degrees dialed back to the A. When you dial back to the O we are at 20. This is at idle (620 rpm's) with no vacuum attached to the dist. At TDC on cyl 1 the timing mark on the balancer sets right at the O. When you run it up to 3000 rpm's...

So, I have been messing with the timing on the 348 tri power and have it timed at 12 initial and 36 centrifugal all in by 3000 using a MSD distributor with the blue and silver springs. My issue is getting a ported vacuum to establish the vacuum advance for cruising which I have learned from...

Back on the road is a good thing! glad you resolved everything.

Aussie, I have a new (still in unopened package) smaller pulley for that pump that I am not using, if interested.

On my '64 when we were under construction (a 10 year project) I had to use the pitman arm from the '64 std. steering box according to the instructions in the kit. The factory sway bar was replaced with an aftermarket larger unit and it did require a 3/8 spacer by the box to get below the...

Have a new 605 and a bottle neck pump. Originally felt like driving on ice all the time....no feel of the road and pretty dancing. Grabbed one of those Borgenson pressure kits and pulled the flow valve out to find no shims at all which I assume is pretty typical for this pump from the factory...
