Default 1950 Ford 8BA Carb

I am having some issues with my 8BA carb on a factory setup. I rebuilt the carb about 8 years ago and am looking to have someone experienced with 8BA carbs go over it.


I've used the search function and I know of a couple of guys on here who may be able to help. I'm more of a read and learn rather than post for the sake of posting so I learned today I need to post 10 times before I can wear big boy pants and message members directly.


Any recommendations outside the forum are greatly appreciated too. Thanks

Welcome aboard! For now, contact this guy, "Charley ny" directly! He's one of our most-distinguished and trusted members, and carburetors are just one of his specialties. If Charlie can't fix you up, he'll surely send you in the proper direction. DD

Make 10 quick posts with just a question mark as text. Maybe that will work.

Uncle Max in Utah is another good one.

Thanks, Pete. I did email him directly, but he only works on Strombergs.

I can also help you out, but I'll give Charlie ny first grab at it. He has a lot of Holley 94 experience. I have a lot too, but not as much as Charlie ny.
If he isn't interested, my info is:

Sal Cicala

Also, I love your '50 coupe. I'm looking for one right now too.
