Installed New Carb
I just installed a “new” carb from Charlie Price’s Vintage Speed. I bought a Model 94 with the designation “59” on it. It fires right up but has a slight hesitation and occasionally “coughs” when...

Re: electic pump
If you use a toggle switch, hook it to the “on” side of the ignition. When you turn the ignition switch off, no more power to pump, it shuts off and won’t keep pumping. I had to add a fuel pressure...

Re: AC Electric Fuel Pump?
Ditto what The Liberator says. The stock 94 carb only wants 2-3 lbs (if I remember) of fuel pressure. My pump says it is rated at 5-8 lbs, way too much, that’s why it was flooding out. A Holly...

Re: Universal joint.
You can buy cornhead grease by the single tube at JD or even online from Walmart. I bet Amazon has it too.

Re: 1949 Ford

Re: Had it with the Teapot carb! Argggg.....
If you have an electric fuel pump, make sure your fuel pressure is correct for the carburetor. I spent half the summer figuring out that issue on my 40. It kept stalling out until I corrected the...

Re: Aftermarked Carburator
If you have a model 94, send it out to be rebuilt by one of the PRO's and they will check out all the fitment of the parts. If you don't have one, buy from someone who will stand behind it. ...

Re: Holley 94 rebuild
Check your fuel pressure. If you have an electric pump, you may have to use a fuel pressure reducer. The model 94 is meant for 2.5 psi, mine had 8 psi before I "cranked her down". Runs great now. ...

Re: felt seal 94 carb.
I just rebuilt two 94’s and each kit had a small round felt piece that came with them. During tear down, there was no felt piece anywhere. They are in my pile of parts, I didn’t use it.
