Thread drift.
MrLion doesn't know the difference between a B-17 and a B-24. "The task was significantly difficult, but put in context of the war effort in general, pretty trivial. By comparison, Ford cranking out a B-17 every 63 minutes at peak production at the Willow Run plant, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week stands in my mind as one of the greatest industrial achievements the world has ever known." |

The P-51A had an Allison Engine had a Stromberg down-draft carburetor with the carburetor intake scoop above at the front of the cowling.
The P-51B-K used the Merlin had the Stromberg up-draft carburetor with the carburetor scoop just below the prop spinner. |

A diagram showing how the air gets from the scoop just below the prop spinner to the carburetors at the back of the engine.
