Offenhauser Triple Carb intake manifolds provide a nostalgic appearance while equalizing fuel distribution to all cylinders, improving both performance and economy. With this lightweight cast aluminum manifold, your old “Stovebolt” will be more responsive across the RPM range. Use with two carburetors (2-5/8″ bolt centers) typical of 1937-52 Chevys.
Fits 235 Chevy 6-cylinders
1937-52 engines w/ Manual Transmission
Carburetors
Speedway Motors now offers a reproduction version of one of the most popular carburetors ever used, the original Stromberg 97! Original equipment on 30s and 40s cars and trucks, the Stromberg 97 has long been favored by flathead hot rodders and racers who realized the performance qualities of this timeless fuel supplier.
There have been numerous attempts to reproduce this unit, with little success. “Speedy” Bill Smith of Speedway Motors in Lincoln, Nebraska, took on the challenge to make a great product even better. The 9 Super 7® Carb brings this reproduction of the original Stromberg 97 2 barrel carb into the 21st Century!
Speedway Motors has incorporated all of the improvements shown above while maintaining the carburetors original look. Features such as the choke assembly, accelerator pump, main jets and cosmetics have all been faithfully retained. Additionally, each carburetor is individually flow tested and inspected for leaks. Perfection is the result!
Aesthetically, the 9 Super 7® is nearly identical to the stock unit, minus the large 97 logo that appeared on the side and the patent numbers found on the float bowl area. Upgraded internal parts include; the float, needle, and seat. Jetting and power valve settings remain as they were for the original 97 carbs as well as the cfm and vacuum specs.
The other similarity that the 9 Super 7® shares with the original 97 is the setup and tuning necessary to yield a well-running machine. While perhaps not as simple as bolting on a single four-barrel, the 9 Super 7® makes setting up a multiple carburetor induction system easier than when Strombergs were available new. All thats required is an intake, a linkage system, a Uni-Syn syncing tool, and a little patience. Our 3 Carb kits come with one primary carburetor and two secondary carburetors while the 2 Carb kits are both primary carbs. See our Multiple Carburetor Tech Tip for more information on using the 9 Super 7® in a 2×2 or 3×2 carb tri power set-up.
On the primary 9 Super 7® carb the throttle shaft extends from carb body .983″ and has the hole on the end to pin the linkage. There is a brass sleeve that the throttle shaft rotates in that extends from the carb body .400 and this leaves the useable throttle shaft length of .583. There is sufficient room for progressive linkage and the manual throttle linkage that rotates over the sleeve.

Linkage Kit
This universal progressive throttle linkage kit is designed to work with Ford/Holley 94’s and Stromberg 97’s carbs. It can be slightly modified to also work with Rochester 2G/2Gc applications (the linkage arms must be drilled for the larger diameter shafts). The arms are drilled with numerous holes allowing you to adjust the opening rate (ratio) of the secondary carbs.
Maximum center to center of long shaft is 11-3/8″ and maximum of short shaft is 7″. Works great on Y-Block Ford, Chevy small block, Ford Flathead V8, Chevy W-Series, Pontiac Tri-Power, vintage Cadillac/Oldsmobile J2, and more! This mechanical accelerator linkage can be used for either two 2-barrel (2×2) or three 2-barrel (3×2) carburetor applications.
Adapter Kit
You’ve asked for it and here it is. No more scouring the junkyards to round out the new 2 or 3 carb setup on your Chevy 6. This kit comes complete with mounting hardware and gaskets.
