Hmmm ... it is a carb for an old flathead ford, but is a Holley 94 2bl.  I 
have had many people tell me this is the correct carb, but you are the 
second to mention the Stromberg ... wonder if both were used at various 
times?  If you go to the Judson Register all the cars pictured use the 
Holley -->  however they are all VWs and the Holley "bugspray" is common on 
VWs anyway.  I cannot tell from any of the pictures of Corvairs what carb 
it is because there is not enough detail.  The install instructions do not 
indicate the model ... I will say that the Holley bolts up correctly and 
the linkage attaches correctly with the Judson kit adapters.

At last weeks Hotrod And Performance Restoration show in Indianapolis, one 
company had on display, a fuel injection system set-up on an Edelbrock 
head-equipped Flathead Ford V8. Each of the three throttle body injectors were 
designed/styled to look just like the old Stromberg 97 Carbs, with a removable "float 
bowl" that really covered the pair of injectors. It looked really classy and 
almost a "Period Piece". It was cute. - Seth
