    Question converted stromberg

     



    I see Mooneye has a new intake system with stromberg 97's that have been converted to fuel injection. Has anyone tried them yet and if so how did they work?

    They're not actually converted 97's, they are newly machined replicas of the old 97 that have injectors hidden under what would normally be the float bowl. They are essentially a throttle body injector (or combination depending on how many you use). Don't know anyone yet who's used them, but did talk to the guy who designed and builds them, and he came across as really knowing his stuff. His deal with Moon is a marketing agreement so he can take advantage of their market presence. In theory they should work every bit as well as a factory throttle body system, or any othe the other aftermarket systems such as Edelbrock or Holley. And they do look pretty cool.

    Here's an old thread where we had some discussion about it.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob As usual your answers are appreciated. I also think they look sharp and might get one Nothing like having 3 dueces sitting on top your engine, unless maybe 6.
