Modern Carb kits for Holley 94

[rambow]

Hello-
This is my first post on this board-
I just pulled a 50 ford tudor out of storage since 1988 (My uncles car).
It has its original flathead, was rebuilt in the mid 70's, minimal miles after that before being stored.

Anyway, with new ignition parts, I've now got it to fire up and running for ~30 seconds at a time by shooting gas down the carb, but it needs to be rebuilt so I can continue moving forward getting it back on the road.

Where would you all recommend getting a proper rebuild kit from?
I did an olds tripower setup a few years back for a friends 66 442, and there was a specialist who assembled kits & specific parts that were considerably better than what was available over the counter for those cars. Wondering if there is anyone like that for these early carbs?

I see speedway offers a kit for these, but I'm assuming that may not be the best bang for the buck.

Any recommendations?

Anyway, thanks in advance... I'll likely be popping in with questions as I move ahead to make this thing run and drive again.

Here are a couple pics of the car.

As suggested by members here I get rebuild kits from https://daytonaparts.com ,ethanol resistant parts, great quality.

I've found that the cheaper kits are plenty good as far as the gaskets and float valves. The part that needs to be the best quality is the power valve, which can be purchased from Daytona Carburetor in Florida or from Charlie ny on the Ford Barn.
Might be less expensive to get the cheaper kit and buy a high quality power valve separately. Maybe not.

Rambow, I agree with the above posters, but would remind Sal that the cheaper kits are cheaper for a reason! Do the job once and do it right.

Thanks for the replies folks- Just got off the phone with Daytona, my kit is on its way!

Rambo, you will definitely need a fuel resistant pump kit also, and the same for a flex hose.

This is true, but I've never had a problem with the gaskets or fuel valves in the cheaper kits, and I've done quite a few. Power valves are another story.

Didn't think about the fuel pump. Who sells rebuild kits.for those?

Check with Charlie my on this forum, he rebuilt my carb, replaced worn throttle shaft. He may have fuel pump parts.

You can private message him or email.
