Hi Folks:

The Stromberg is not as modern as the WDO. Add a computer control for the economizer and the WDO will pass emission standards for 1984 California.

The big problem with getting the Stromberg sorted out is that the main jet air bleeds clog and have to be removed using a special jet wrench and a hammer. This requires experienced personnel. As with all carburetors the idle air bleeds erode over time as well.

None of these cars run as well as new due to erosion of pot metal carburetors, so for a road car if a better mixture is obtained using a newer model then so be it. The original merchandise can always be kept on the shelf and sold with the car.

Hope this helps.
