Re: Dual Carb Intake for my 235

So, for now I will tell you what I have learned.
1) there is a carb adapter made for this intake that allows the use of Stromberg carburetors.
2)My research has led me to consider using a Stromberg 81, which flows 116 cfm. I think two of these new carbs will be a good starting point to begin tuning.
3) I can purchase brand new Stromberg 81s from Stromberg-97.com. They are pricey but I will be not be working with air horns and parts that are many decades old.
4) If I need to add fuel or remove fuel I will determine this by using a bung mounted Air/Fuel gauge and to assist my tune after the carbs are synchronized.

I guess y'all can watch and tell me "told you so" if I fail. But I am determined to try and I think I will succeed. Time will tell.
