He has quite a bit of really cool items.  He machines just about everything.  The air cleaner covers are solid aluminum and great quality.  I did decide to paint the centers.  Just my take on it.  Dick is a great guy to deal with, extremely knowledgeable, and he'll make sure everything is working now and in the future.  He is direct and to-the-point when you talk to him, but I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Let me know if you have any other questions.  The fuel lines are polished stainless.  He'll bend them any way you can dream up, if you decide to have him make them for you.

In case anyone was interested, I posted the link to Ted's article in my previous post.  It's here if you don't see it.

Modifying the Holley 94

The Center Carb on mine does not have the Spark Control Valve in the Throttle Body. Carb is stamped "Ford" on One Side of Float Bowl but Blank on the other Side. The 2 End Carbs are identified as "59". What do I need to do to Center Carb to make it Ported Vacuum? There is a Plug in the upper Carb Body as shown in Teds Article. What model 94 is the Center Carb with no ID on it?.  

  

oldcarmark,

I sent you a PM, but I don't know if it went through.  I did a quick search and found that the end carbs you have are flathead era, and apparently desirable model Holleys.  

In regards to how to set up the center carb for vacuum, I think that you will need a different base.  I went and looked at my spares, and they both have the spark valve/economizer.  I know that they were definitely Y-block era Holley 94s and are the largest venturi ( 1 1/16").

I put in two links that you might find interesting and informative.

49bomb,

I did get your PM and messaged You back Thanks. The Model 59 End Carbs are 46-48 Car. The middle is an 8BA which is 49-53 as far as I can tell. The earlier 46-48 Carbs don't have the Vacuum hookup for Distributor. Started with the 49 Flathead. The Spark Advance Valve started in '54 as shown in my Parts Catalog. I will be changing the Bases on the end Carbs to the Ones You went with.Block off the Power Valves also.

  

Latest updates guys! I made a smoke machine. This is what I came up with, I connected it to my manifold vacuum port. I put tape over the center carburetor so no smoke would escape. Applying smoke, I found smoke coming out of the hole on the carburetor hat.(center carb) It's a hole where the accelerator pump lives. Next, I found smoke coming out of a vent tube on the front carburetor. The rear carburetor showed no evidence of smoke coming from the throttle plates. So what's everyone's thought on why there smoke coming out of these two places? Do I need to plug them up? Remember, I'm trying to chase down a vacuum leak.
Thanks!
