Mark Shaw Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a big Marvel/Schebler updraft with a bigger throat, but it is 3" between mounting bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastermike Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 hi, drbs, yes i am still looking for white chaindrive truck parts for a 3 ton truck, i need the sprockects that bolt to the insides of the rear rims as well as a few other missing bits, thanks.mark your marvel/schebler carburettor sounds like it may be an option as my chances of finding the correct stromberg carb are fairly slim, i dont know how many litres the pierce arrow engine is, but it is a very large 4 cylinder twin ignition engine, adapting another carb is a bit of a hit and miss affair i've being told, but better than nothing, maybe you could give me some more details then i could discuss it with a carb rebuilder here and see what he reckons, cheers mike.

carbking Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Mike - according to the Stromberg literature, the MP-2 was used on a 276 CID 4 cylinder.Don't have my calculator handy, but that should be approximately 4 1/2 liters.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Sir,The old Stromberg Catalogues show that many "O" and "LB" model carburators can handle a 250-300 ci engine. They have tables in the last pages of the old Stromberg manuals. Many of these are updraft types and were also applied on 1920-1923 cars (like my big six Kissel). LB's and O-types are available often on ebay. I suggest that you could mount one of these as long as you can get an adapting flange. These are occasionally on ebay (very rare but a standard accessory in the 1920's), or you can have one machined. Model M Stromberg carbs are not common and I have seen several cars retrofitted to use more available stromberg models. Thanks, -- RON HAUSMANN -- PS - Tuning a Stromberg LB or O type requires patience !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
