I have plumbed for a 94 as they were fitted during wartime on USA manufactured units and are the most modern period USA carb suitable. The British carbs were single choke where as the Ford 94s and Strombergs were twin choke designs which I think better suit the application. I brought two from California via the internet, with a £20 rebuild kit and built one good unit from the pair.

Try Treadwell Carbs.

They rebuilt my original that included the governor, and ran it in on a test bed V-8. Cost US$ 85.00 to rebuild.

unimpressive website, but the work is fantastic!

In behalf of PetrB:
" I got this one - "Zenith-Stromberg, Made in France (?)" with my Mk.III. This carb is really piece-of-art Just working on it - very nice."

Hi Ritchie,
I have been running SOLEX AAPI twin chokes on Flathead V8 lorries for years . Wally Wheatley of Nordian in the distant past said they were the best with a bit more preformance and better consumption.

Might still have one about, in fact Andy jsut had his rebuilt byt the Carb Dr for about £ 130

Let me know

Andy
