Which carb to run ?
Which is best to run if you cannot get a carb with a governor ?
I have the remains of my original carb, plus one given to me by a mate... Both need a full overhaul if they are to be used.... I have a ford 94 and a Holley 94 type fifty something...   I was also considering a Stromberg 97 ...... Can anyone advise ?

Carb
Richard, Go on ebay USA and pic up a rebuilt ready to fit Holley 94 for around $200.
Item : 151242898545 is just an example. You can ebay off the two you have to finance the postage. Kevin.

Stromberg
I was toying with Stromberg 97 as I can get them brand new in this country... Just not sure how well they work on a carrier lump.
I can get the carbs I have fully rebuilt by royal kustoms for £110 But just wanted to get a consensus for who has tried what etc etc.

I've got a nos Solex which is the correct one for my carrier. It ran the engine fine when we ran it in. However, I have heard they're not the best carbs in the world but as it's the correct one I'm going to give it a go. If it's crap then I'll go with something more reliable like the Stromberg, purely for ease of use. Jim likes the Stromberg! Ben

The Strombergs were a pain to try to run on the old Ford cars. The 94s were better

David, can you give us more detail? Every hot rodder seems to only want a 97.
