HELP - BEST rebuild kits for Holley 94 Carbs???

[CaptKirk]

OK, I finally found the intake that I've been after and I also will be getting 6 Holley 94 carbs that will need rebuilding. Since I haven't rebuilt a carb in almost 35 years, any advice will be greatly appreciated AND I would like to know what BRAND of rebuild kit is the best I can buy??? THANKS!!!

Great article on the Holley 94’s here at Street Rodder

The Hot Rod Company seems to have a pretty complete kit but it’s $25.

Tansen Enterprises caters to (Sacramento, California) has a very complete kit at $37 each.

Vintage Speed is just plain awesome -several kits, depending on what's needed, from $15 to $40 You should at least check out their web site!

Times six, well you can do the math. (But at this point, the cost of the kits is not an issue, eh?)

Have you checked with your local NAPA store? You may be really surprised at what they carry or can get for you. The 94 is a pretty simple and straight forward carb (Ford used them for twenty years from 1938-57!) and I’ve rebuilt several of them (a few years back!) with good results using kits from my local parts house.

Good luck and keep us all up to speed with your project. I really enjoy your posts and the enthusiasm you show in tackling this multi-carb induction system!

Regards,
Glenn

THANKS, Glenn!! I've really learned a LOT from this Fantastic Forum and other internet sources! I think I can rebuild them and you're very right, at this point the cost of the kits isn't a concern (just don't let my wife know I said that) Oh well, Merry Christmas to ME!!!

vintage speed is absolutely the best be sure to change the butterfly's on the secondary carbs that will make idle control a snap ....ted

CaptKirk - how 'bout some photos before, during and after plus on your intake!!

These are simple carbs to do with the exception of choosing the right power valve. If you have decent cores, they are virtually fool proof. I've done dozens in my distant (and now hazy) past and only one was a clunker - and that one went to the dump as I only paid a couple bucks for it.

IC2 - THANKS for the info and vote of confidence!! I am going to be running the 1" venturie center 94's as primary carbs and the other four will be the 15/16" 94's as secondaries. The guy who I bought the setup from is extremely knowledgeable about multi-carb inductions and that's what he recommended for my basically stock 327. He is also adamant about not having to dummy any of the carbs even on the street. His take is that if you got 'em, they all should work. I have found a guy who will rebuild the carbs for me at $50 each including parts/kits. I think I'll give it a try first and see how I do. I also have been reading about power valve selection and will probably have to order 2 - 3.5 power valves for the center 2 carbs since the standard valve in one 94 is usually 7.5 and a split of that would approximately equate to the 3.5 valves. It's quite possible that I'll have to block off the outer 4 carb's power valves but I will let my expert guide me on that decision. Again, thanks AND pictures of the whole process would not be a bad idea at all!!
