Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
NAPA is your best bet. Tell em you want the right one, even if they have to order it. At least then you can rule something out, if it does not cure it.

Remove and plug all the vacuum connections on the engine before testing again, so you can rule them in or out as part of the problem. Maybe the brake booster has a blown diaphragm? Have you checked around the intake gaskets or for a cracked intake manifold? Last edited by dmsfrr; 04-06-2019 at 07:39 PM. Reason: add photos |

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
Thanks for the reply! For whatever reason I'm having a difficult time uploading my pictures they just won't load. Anyways the vacuum Port is tapped at the top of the block right by the distributor next to the valve cover pan. As far as intake gaskets are concerned, I just rebuilt this motor and they're new. As for the booster diaphragm, it is also new. So everything is new on this motor. But ,as I stated previously ,I had this problem before I rebuild it. I haven't had time to install my new PCV valve yet. So I'll let you guys know how that worked out...

I'm using two bolts to hold my throttle bracket. Do you think I could be losing vacuum from those Threaded bolt holes? |

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
Someone used too long of a bolt to fasten down the throttle bracket and broke thru into the intake runner. Then put a shorter bolt into the hole, it made a good vacuum leak.

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
With 20" of idle vacuum, you do not have a vacuum leak ,at least not big enough to affect the mixture at part or full throttle. If you have not blocked off the end carbs, do so! Just cut a piece out of a soda can just big enough to cover the openings and bolt the carb back down. You don't even have to make bolt holes, just snug the carb with an extra gasket. If it still runs lean find or borrow a different carb. DO NOT ASSUME anything! Test everything. No shortcuts! (This is troubleshooting 101!)

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
I tend to agree with 40Deluxe, if you have 20 in. of vac. at idle with steady needle on the gauge , a Vac. leak is unlikely, but, you do have a lean condition if you can still change the idle speed and quality by partly covering the top of the carb., or adding a bit of choke, as this effectively makes the idle mixture richer.

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
I did block both end carburetors off. When I did that, the engine stumbled, got very angry! Did not want to run,and it started pulling oil into the exhaust causing a great deal of smoke! So I don't know what happened there... Going to install the new PCV valve tomorrow see what happens with that..
finally! got pictures resized!!!! Last edited by reddog565; 04-08-2019 at 07:39 AM. |

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
Hi guys. I installed a new PCV valve. Idols a lot smoother and better. But still dealing with the bogging problem. Sow I eliminated a vacuum leak. So it's down to not getting enough fuel. I'm going to have to take that center carburetor off and take a closer look at it. I'm already running a 52 jet on the center one. And 49 on the two outboards.

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
I totally rebuilt the carbs myself, ran wires through all the holes.so I think Alaskan Jim was right to begin with it's a lean condition I just have to figure out what it is..

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
With the outer carbs blocked off the engine should idle & run on just the center carb. If it won't there's something wrong with that carb.
A sometimes overlooked problem is a clogged inlet filter, just inside the carb where the fuel line attaches, if those carbs have them, or maybe a stuck-shut float valve. |

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
still dealing with "bogging". it is absoutley a fuel "issue".
i'am running 52 jets in center carb. I want to try some larger ones. my carbs are the "94 model". does any body have some #54 jets & up? these must be 1/4" threads! new ones cost about $5-6 each! if you have some good used ones, private message me. I use pay-pal.. |

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
I just bought two #55 Holley jets from a local speed shop (these places are disappearing) for $5 for both. BTW, all Holley jets are the same thread size.
Also, weak ignition can make an engine bog under load. Make sure you have a nice blue crisp spark that can jump 1/2" before you start wasting time and money. Sal |

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
I always enjoy hearing from you! Lord knows I wasted enough money on this car.... Asfor the spark , it's an MSD ready to run distributor. And yes I'm using the vacuum advance. 38 degrees total advance. Talk to what I would call a reputable carburetor shop.they said after the mid-60s the thread size changed from quarter inch to 5/16? Anyways I only got 52 in the center 1 and 49 in the outboards. I guess I'll get it up a little bit go to 54 in center ,see what happens?I'm totally out of options, I tried all everybody suggestions nothing's working. Thanks for keeping in touch Jim..

Re: 3duce set up Ford 94 carburetors
That's news to me. I've been doing all USA carburetors since I was 17 and never ran into two different main jet thread sizes on Holley carbs. They did change the numbering on the jets with 3 digits instead of two when the emission years started. I'm pretty sure that represented 100% jet flowing before carb assembly.
The guy at the carb shop may have been referring to Autolite/Motorcraft jet thread size (which is larger). Sal |
