Re: My first dumb question
Hey Tubman....I read this...
This distributor has no mechanical advance capability and relies solely on vacuum signals from the carburetor for advancing the spark. A special version of the Holley 94 was developed that supplies that specialized signal through a port about half way up the backside of the carburetor. If you don't have that special version, the distributor advance will not function. Simply connecting the distributor advance line to manifold vacuum will not work, as it supplies the wrong vacuum signal to the distributor. So what carb? Where might I find one? Or at least that section of the carb? |

I will now try to find pictures of what you need (I don't have any easily available as I am in Florida for the winter and away from my shop). Found a picture of the one you need. Please notice the female fitting on the back side. That is where the vacuum line from the distributor attaches. This is all I could find in a hurry and I notice they are out of stock. Not to worry, they are around and not that hard to find. (Just because I posted a link to their picture is not a recommendation). https://www.ecklers.com/carburetor-m...2-19669-1.html Last edited by tubman; 03-04-2021 at 08:12 PM. |

I believe they went on and used them into 90's and only in about 2002? did the French sell off all the extra warehoused engines, parts and stock. It was a great time to be in and around Texas as that's where the hundreds? of engines (and thousands of parts) all ended up. I wonder where they all went too? You don't see much hype or info as to people who bought them all those years ago . Last edited by moefuzz; 03-05-2021 at 03:25 PM. |

Re: My first dumb question
.
Here's a Great Video of some French Flatheads in action. Most of these ex military vehicles have the French Flathead in them, there is however the odd puguet? or something in with them... BTW, the hammering you hear in the cab is the auxiliary air-pump that is used to run additional attached equipment and to run an air hose and tools etc. The Flatheads sound great! but they should definitely spend some money on new tires...

Re: My first dumb question
It was Christmas of 2002 I believe that my wife bought a crated block in cosmoline from Richard LeJuerrne of Halibrand in Kansas, as a surprise Christmas present for me. It's still in that crate today in my garage, and will likely be offered for sale very shortly. The few left have become rather spendy. DD

Re: My first dumb question
My favorite is the 61. First year of the round tail lights and last year of the painted coves. It was a tossup between getting a 32-40 Ford or another c1. You see what won out, but I feel like I might be in over my head.

Just to be clear : the 8BA carburetors used on '49-'51 Fords ARE Holley/Ford 94's. They are just a different model. If you have the proper center section, I believe you could install it in one of your existing carburetors. I have never done it, as I like to keep as many original parts together as I can. |

Re: My first dumb question
o2bnkc
Just a little advice. I always try to use the search engine feature in the tool bar before I ask a question in the forms with good results. Make sure your spelling is correct and try a couple of different ways to form your question. BTW don't ever ask what oil should I use in my flattie. HaHa |

Re: My first dumb question
Didn't Simca use the flathead V8 for a few years? May have even had a column shifted 4-speed? I think I knew a young lady who had one in the 60's.
