I recently acquired a Offenhauser T 2726 intake with three carbs, each different from the others. One is a Holley 2100 with 94 circled and no other markings. The second is a Ford USA, 15/16, 94 circled, mdl. 8BA, and script letter F. The third one is a Ford 1 1/16, ECG 5, and block letter F. It has relatively new looking "remanufactured" stickers and a illegible red stamp and it appears to be unused (visual inspection). The base is stamped 8BA 9515 (I think). The other two carbs obviously need rebuilt.
This is intended to go on my 256 cid Merc but I have limited knowledge of these various carbs. Many years ago I rebuilt a pair of Stromberg 97s for a pre-51 flathead but, of this group, I don't know which way to proceed. Logic says to use the remanufactured one in the center and rebuild or replace the other two. Should all three match or is it OK for a mis-match of models? Which of the three is the "best" and how would the other two be ranked for preference?
I am not building for maximum performance or racing, mostly for nostalgic show.
