At the core, the main body casting is the main thing I guess.
After 75 years of commercial rebuilders, hotrodders, and farmers messing with old Fords purity is hard to find. 94's are even worse it terms of mixed part possibilities!
Yes your right Bruce,many parts are changed around by limited knowledge people,they may fit but not work quite right ,ive seen everything in the book on these bastaredized carbs. You have to know what goes with what. Assumeing a person has a good supply of cores and parts most can be brought back to original to the year of all correct parts. OMO ken ct.
