Default Re: 8BA doesnt have power

mart, flatheadted, no heat riser hole. stock manifold doesnt have one. something stupid is going on. ill keep tinkering.....

BTW, I dug up the old 94 that I had on it as a teenager and drove this truck all the time. it has a hole drilled in the carb above the accel pump plunger. not sure who did this, wasnt me but it ran like a champ. is there a reason to do this. Here is a photo.

I just assembled a "Franken-Holley 94" for the engine on my stand and it had that hole in it also, It was a "EC" model.
