The Holley 94 is a pretty good carbuerator. Some say better than a Stromberg. I have a Stromberg 48 on my model B motor and a 94 on my V8. The bad reputation of the Holley 94 comes largely from the fact that they were used to (vacuum) control the distributor advance in a vacuum advance ONLY distributor. This was Ford’s Load-A-Matic system and I have a strong dislike for that set up. It works ok if EVERYThing is stock and in good condition. This is rarely the case. The 94 can be used with a conventional centrifical or centrifical + vacuum advance distributor.
