My 115C was fitted with a Stromberg carburetor (don't know the number) which never gave a bit of trouble all the time I owned it. The new owner overhauled it and got a kit from Daytona.

The 385S would be the correct unit for 1937-38 Oldsmobile 6-cylinder. As noted earlier, you really want to find a 477S.

Hi Ramcuda,
I can't speak to whether the 385S will work on your car; I CAN say the 530S is what I have on my '39 Six (245 CID) and it seems to work fine. It's what the carb exchange place recommended to me when I gave them my year, make & model. It does sound like the 477S is MORE correct. Even if you can find a good core and get a rebuild kit and either do it yourself or get somebody to do it for you. I'm fighting with my carb right now as it is dripping gas out the bottom of the bowl and I've been investigating rebuild outfits and kits; if I come up with anything I think would help, I'll let you know. Chris.

I've been watching this as I have a couple Strombergs from '39 or '40 at my shop and am now anxious to see what they are the next time I'm there!

Ramcuda,
The 385S will probably be OK in the short term. The venturis are the same diameter but some of the jets are different, so not ideal but may still work. Chris, The main difference on the 530S from the 477S is the presence of the CarStarter switch which is redundant for cars with a pushbutton starting switch. The remaining specifications are pretty much the same.

Thanks Brian, that's good to know. Re the 'starter switch', what does this look like? I can't say I've noticed any difference between the 1st rebuilt I bought (a manual-choke Carter WA-1, not sure of the #-designation) and the 530S, other than the latter is automatic choke. Is the switch obvious or internal?? Chris.

Here is what the starter switch looks like on a 2 barrel carburetor. The 530S single barrel will be similar.
