A lot to cover for you SO i will start with Bored&Stroked post above, there is another option where you can keep the correct 33 intake and still get either a 48 or 97 “convenience” over a DL. I have these adapters that bolt directly to the 2 bolt base 33 intake and allow the use of three bolt carburetors like the 48 or 97. It keeps you from having to change intakes IF you want 100% 33 original. I did this on my 32. it takes me less than 30 mins to convert my 32 back to the DL and 100% original. The main modification I had to make for my 32 with the 48 carburetor was the choke rod. Not sure how the 97 would do with that and the location of the lever?? Here is my 32 with the adapter and a 48 carb on it and the adapters, IF you wish, I can modify and sell you one of my two adapters.

Sorry I don’t have my 32 intake handy to shoot a photo of it but here is the correct 33 intake you seek. The 32 looks the same but has a complete different generator mount than a 33, 32 is a post mount so most noticeable. 34 will not have two openings rear of the carburetor for the oil fill tube and the fuel pump like the 33 does PLUS a 34 will be a three bolt carburetor base. your other quest IF you decide to go with the 33 intake is you will need to find the correct fuel pump and most likely fuel push rod too!!!

If you need OR are interested, here is a 33 DL I have as a spare as well. IF you want to have the correct DL for shows, Charlie Schwindler has done two of them
for me. If you decide you want mine I can send it to Charlie directly IF you wish, they are not cheap to rebuild compared to a 48, 97 or a 99 so know that going in. Also you cannot tell just by looks and relative cleanliness IF it can rebuilt or not SO I personally wouldn’t pay a lot for one as they are a crap shoot IF they can be rebuilt or not!!! So.

Highbeams - you want to talk to our very own Uncle Max. He is a distributor for the new Stromberg 97 carbs - they are a better than perfect reproduction of the originals. I use them on a LOT of performance builds.

I used to rebuild originals (and still do at times), but the best way to go is with a brand new carb.

IF you decide to go with a 33 intake this is the fuel
pump you seek for the 33 which was a carry over from 1932.

IF you post photos of what you have now, and what you are trying to accomplish ie, 100% stock, 75% stock looking, don't care about stock etc etc we can refine and BEST direct and advise you.

Gmac: It is a '33 flathead. It has the oiling tube to the throwout bearing. Only '33s had that. There is the little 'pencil ledge' front of engine above the distributor; i.e., just wide enough to hold a number 2 pencil.

Is there still a debate regarding aluminum heads, and cast iron heads?

Thr pros and cons of each? Thanks -
