Holley 94 help.....Or Stromberg 97's

[Six Pack to go]

Looking for the best place to buy new or re-built reliable Holley 94's.... Or Stromberg 97's

Who do you think has the best deals and quality? I see MAC offers re-built 94's...how about Speedway's 9 Super 7's??

I was also looking at the Edlebrock 94 but they are backordered....

looking to buy trouble free carbs for a good price...thanks for the help....~E

You might want to do your homework before you give the Speedway carburetor-shaped objects anymore thought...

Uncle Max,
This fellow is following your advice and is trying to "do his homework". Sounds like you have some info he can use?? Why not share it?

Six,
Are you looking to run mutiple carbs....2x2 or 3x2?
94's are less expensive than Strombergs and are quite reliable. I like the all
mechanical power valve design of the Strombergs plus to my eye they have a great
look. The 94 vacuum PV design on multiple setups has prompted some spirited debate.
Original properly rebuilt carbs still have a solid home in our world and are about
2/3 the cost of repops. It's a given that you cannot toss a kit into a 70 year old carb
and expect much. The case quite often is a proper performing 2x2 setup might take
good functioning parts from more than 2 carbs to reach home base.
In my personal expirience road testing after rebuilding and before shipping
is the safest way to go. I wish I could say road testing is 100% but, well........

Here is my issue, my '34 had a worn out 1950 flathead, running 2 holley/ford 94 carbs without issue....besides the white smoke....anyway, I swapped the engine for a totally re-built 1950 flathead, dropped my same intake and 2 carbs on top and now it runs like shit.... starts, idles fine, go down the road and she sputters. So, I re-built these 2 carbs with minimal improvment. The timing is on so do you guys think it may be my ditributor? I was thinking of going to an electronic distributor...HELP!! thanks ~Eric

Try points and condenser, electronics are great till the module goes to sleep.
