Stromberg 97 Question

I'm looking to buy a couple of real good kits for rebuilding Stromberg 97 carburetors. Who sells the good kits with that will take the new crummy gas?
Thanks for any and all replies. Jay in Mass

Uncle Max, I was was surprised nobody mentioned you as a source for 97 parts or info. I would have contacted you just because of you're great reputation.

Believe me Max is the Best! Cruddy, worn out, 97 come back like new! Awesome service and great price!
 
Thanks for all of those responses.
I'm thankful that this site has lots of "been there and done that" members who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. Jay

I'm sorry......my intention was not to ask such a complicated question.

Your definition would be correct IF used in the context as an ADJECTIVE, as in: "A carburetor is a "specialized" fuel control device."

In my quoted question, SPECIALIZED is used as the VERB in the PREDICATE of that sentence. It refers back to the NOUN "Ken" in the SUBJECT, as in: "Ken specialized in........" If you can remember back to that awful "diagramming of sentences" when we were in grade school, it still works to help make our language specific, yet simple.

So more-specifically, was Ken SPECIALIZED in selling carburetors, etc, or buying carbs, or talking about carbs, or beadblasting and spray-bombing carbs?
 
How about keeping the $ in your own state? Try Freeman's Garage 29 Ford Road Norton, Mass. 508-285-6500

I happened upon this place on a road trip to look at a 32 Ford. It's a cool old time garage and the guys work on old hot rods, primarily Model As. They sell all speed equipment for flatheads and bangers and are a Stromberg dealer. A well kept secret I guess. I enjoyed the company and the old boneyard out back. A trip back in time. Take a friend.

Some of you other guys need a time out from the forums, really.
