The Holly 94 has an accelerator pump, rebuilding kits and a multitude of jet sizes are available. Ford used the 94 from 1937 into the 1950s.

Down 4 notches.... Bob, won't that beat the babbit out of the rods with a H-C head? Help me understand this.

With the 84, don't you need 12V to run a fuel pump, and regulator? (4's run at like 1 to 1.25 LBS fuel pressure.
