I suspect Mr Black has one of those fancy ribbed pulleys to go onto that balancer... to feed this thing:

Correct Mr Harv , got a couple more bits on today, took a while to get the manifolds all bolted up nicely as the custom 13/4" primary pipes on the Brodie built extractors make for very tight tolerances , they fit beautifully but getting the right fasteners involved a couple of trips to pick up different bolts to get it all buttoned up ImageImage

Now I get it !!!!!!

Looks close to the firewall still, will that bit at the back hit with the engine torque ?

Does look great I must admit.

I really hope so :)

AFAIK, Stromberg didn't make huffers, though they did make some complex, funky floatless carbs for aircraft - cutaway version below:

Hey Blacky does the blower put much weight/pressure against the driver side engine mount or have you compensated for it?
