The Ford Barn

Has anyone used the aftermarket carburetor that replaces the Ford 2 barrel on a 52 F1,2,3 ? When I got my truck it had a Stromberg on it. I have tried several different carburetors of the FORD type after rebuilding them with no luck. I need a carb that works. I want my yard art to move. Thanks.

It won't even move? Maybe your problem is something other than the carburetor?

Make sure the 94 has the vacuum port on back for the Load o Matic. Then, make sure the throttle shaft isn’t sloppy in the bore. Also , make sure it has been cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, and that mating surfaces are flat. Last but not least, get a quality kit from Daytona, or Cowboy John ( I think he sells kits). It is a simple carb, not rocket surgery.
