[Fot] Best Stromberg Carbs

[Larry Young]

Is the shim stock used to make the diameter of the end larger?  Please 
explain.

There are lists and even a little Windows program for all the SU 
needles.  Is similar data available for the Stromberg needles?

I have reshaped SU needles as suggested.  I made some that worked well  
and then ordered a matching set from Joe Curto.
Thanks,
Larry
