Holley 94 Questions
I'm looking to invest in a set of Holley 94 or Stromberg 97s and a Vintage Speed 2x2 adapter which mates them to a modern 4 barrel intake for a sbf. I'm leaning toward the Holley 94 for $$ reasons. While searching this site, epay, google etc its obvious there are many models of 94s. I'm hoping someone can assist me with the following questions before I spend the bucks:
1. Anyone know a good reference website that explains the various models, ie 8BA, 2100 etc?
2. What is meant by a matched set, just same model numbers?
3. Anybody running this 2x2 adapter or know of problems with this setup?

Gas cheap where you live?! 94's are one of the worst carbs for economy. A modern 4-bbl (especially an Edelbrock Performer) would be a much better choice, if not nastalgic looking. I believe 94 (13/16" bore) are rated around 180 cfm, that's kinda low for a 350, although that would help with economy (I assume these are arranged with a progressive linkage to the 2nd carb?)
I don't see how you could use any of the variants that have drillings for the LoadAMatic distributor, which includes all Ford variants from '48 thru the early '60's (2110's). The vacuum advance would be all over the map. Maybe you could plug the lower drilling?

Our resident expert on 94's is 286Merc and I haven't seen him around for a while. You can do a search here and find his post on 94's how to tune, rebuild and setup. Carl didn't get the info from a book, the guy runs 3 deuces on his truck and had been fooling with these carbs for a long long time.
The 2 x 2 adapter is a reiteration of an old almquist bad idea. You might make your engine look good but it will never beat the 4 barrel.
