Default Confirming specs on a Ford 94-59 Carb

Hello,


I am overhauling a Ford 94-59 carburetor from the mid/late 1940s. I have it all cleaned out and am ready to reassemble, but I have had a hard time confirming most of the specs. Or at least I haven't been able to find them. I have done lots of Carters for pre-War GM cars and their specs are very detailed.


This is what I have measured. If any of these seem off let me know.


Throttle body
Fuel intake ports in upper flange 40 drill (0.098")
Lower idle ports 56 drill (0.465") Note: I did find this spec and it is 0.037" but the years with the needles have probably enlarged them some
Upper idle ports Could not measure due to plate interference but spec is 0.0395"


Main body
Accel pump outlet in well 44 drill (0.086")
Crossover idle out 40 drill
Pwr valve to main well port 60 drill (0.040")
Center well port to accel pump out 45 drill (0.082")


Crossovers
To idle ports in body 40 drill
Main air bleed ports at bottom 57 drill (0.043")
2 top bleeds 52 drill (0.0635")
Main intake tubes (2 on each on same side) 42 drill (0.0935")
Idle tube intake 54 drill (0.055")
Idle tube out 71 drill (0.026")


Any guidance would be appreciated while it is still apart.


Note: I just realized I forgot to measure the accel pump output nozzles. Will post tomorrow.


Thanks, Dave
