Re: Holley 94 Modes?
Holley 2100, maybe it’s not a 94 at all, I just assumed. I know that it has a proper port for the Load-O-Matic distributor (now replaced by SBC unit). It also has LIST 742 on it. Bores are 1.20-1.25”...

Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
FWIW Edlebrock make 2 different heads 1115 with 64 CC and 1116 with 75 CC. They are in fact the same casting but the 1116 chambers have been hogged out some. We are currently dealing with some 1115...

Re: 1931 model a engine
I re-torque the cylinder head bolts,nuts every time I change the oil. Making it a part of the oil change process keeps me on a regular schedule.
