I just learned about those new Strombergs, a little steep but not horrible. I am probably going to go with Rochesters because I have two complete sets, one for my Olds and one for the Chevy in my T. Plus, most new manifolds are drilled for a four bolt pattern. I think Gastrick has strombergs on his setup though.

Oh, just as a sidenote, my Kid had his Olds tripower carbs redone by Hot Rod Carburation and they did a fantastic job on them. All properly dyed screws and all. Cost wasn't real bad either, I think something like $ 450 for the 3, at least that is what I recall. Service and turnaround was great too.

Here they are before and after.

Tri power is fine, I just don't like to balance them. IMHO, an early two four set up is much cooler than tri power.
