  Will a Stromberg 97 fit on a 1940 engine? Has anyone made this install and what might have to be modified for this fit? A big thanks to all responders.

  No problem all hookups are same place,only the gas line will come in a little lower at carb end,just bend as necessary to fit. [must go straight in not at a angle] ken ct.

  The Stromberg will fit, but the 94 carburetor is a better carburetor for your 40. A correctly rebuild 91-99 model will make your car perform as designed. There were many advances in carb technology between the time the Stromberg 97 was designed and the Chandler Groves design in 1937.
