Default Carb adapters

Is there an carb adapter that will allow you to put a holley 94 2 barrel on a 1 barrel inline 6 cyl inline ford flathead manifold?

Speedway lists one for a GM 6cyl. They list the bolt centers for the single barrel flange. You would have to see if it's the same as your Ford manifold, and also if it orients the carb in the right direction. Part number 9108052

Actually what I have "may" be what speedway sells? As you see with my pictures I have two of theses and BOTH had to be modified!!! The single barrel side bolt spacing is about 1/4" ish center to center OFF. I had the "original" bolt holes fill welded, then I re-drilled the correct bolt spacing, re-milled both flange surfaces and had to "relieve" the sides a scoche' so that a wrench or socket fit the mounting nut.

being in aussie between the cost of freight and USD exchange its often the only way to go that makes sense as $50 USD turns into $150 AUD real quick

I knew a local guy that had an adaptor fabricated at local machine shop to convert his 1953 vintage"teapot" carburetor to the Ford style Holley (94?). As far as I know it worked ok.

Don't tell your friend now, but swapping in a Ford manifold would have been an easy task and probably much cheaper.
