Question Rebuild Time!

I am going to rebuild my carb on my 49, does anybody have and experience with the brand Walker? Because i am about to get one of their kits and was wondering if they are a quality brand? Any feedback is much appreciated!

Get a kit from Ken ct or Charlie ny.
Google Holley 94 rebuild, classic trucks and street fodder mags
Have some good articles on rebuilding.
After you read it order a kit from Ken. I have $30 plus
time that was wasted. A correct kit from a vintage Ford supplier was not correct.

Joshua, isn’t your car an I-6, not a V8? If so, didn't the I-6 run a single barrel carb.? I don't know anything about the Walker rebuild kits but, whatever you do, make sure you get the correct kit for your carb. I'd contact Charlie NY or one of the other carb rebuilders on the forum before you buy something you don't need or can't use. Thanks for the Father's day note.
