Hi Mike,
When you suggested Stromberg, it reminds me that was the carburetor
I chose to use on my '57 Bird (pre big Holleys):
http://www.vintagespeed.com/newprod.htm to use on my 430" stinkin'
Lincoln conversion for '59, three 97s:

looks exactly like the carburetors on an aluminum bodied '55 Austin
Healey I once owned. First and last British product, lesson well
learned. This '62 pictured says they were S. U.s:

That Austin is sweet. Triple SU's, man those must have been a riot to
sync up. LOL! I played with lots of dual SU and Stromberg systems and
they were a hoot. Got good enough the boys were bringing me the 6 packs
to sync.

The SU has a taller pot on it, the Stromberg or Zenith on the mutt is
squatter like this Volvo one:

Hi Mike,
There were two on my '55 and I didn't have any problem with them.
It was the typical rainy day shorting that all British cars seam to have
during that time. And it kept losing it's alignment on our California
roads, and the loose spokes, And the paint pealing off the aluminum
body, and the stripped bolts in that aluminum, and the..... etc., etc.,
etc.!
Synchronizing multiple slide type carburetors is a must, especially
on puny engines like the Honda four motorcycles. I used that little
clear plastic tester that raised a ball to compare venturi speeds
