Re: Correct carb
Personally, I'd be wary of any "rebuilt" 94 unless I knew the builder. Over the years parts get mismatched and interchanged to the point that you never really know what you're buying. If it were me, I'd find a core and send it to CharlieNY for a correct rebuild. But that's JMO.

Re: Correct carb
Would this be the one he needs? I believe this is a stock 8BA carb and intake.

Re: Correct carb
Pretty simple really, don’t have a base with the extra doo-dad for the “pv” look alike in the base, for a flathead. It must have the vacuum port for the L-A-M, if you need it. Later flathead carb tops had a relief for the taller right angle nozzles. Any 8BA, EAB, or 7RT (with car air horn) carb has the vacuum port if you aren’t going to have it “judged”. They are pretty simple to rebuild. Key thing, clean, clean, clean all passages. Daytona parts will get get you where you want to be. If you are after some sort of trophy, find someone who will plate steel parts and chromate the body, with the right markings. Say no to clear coat and spray paint. And for heaven’s sake, don’t sand/file the top to correct warpage. Make a jig and flatten it. Why file off something marginally thin to begin with.

Re: Correct carb
No luck finding an 8BA distributor vacuum line. You will probably have to make your own, but it seems that the "Ford Nuts" are now available. There was a suggestion of using "cunifer" tubing in the thread I referenced. The stuff bends much easier than steel tube and works great.
