Okay that gasket (bottom in picture) is thicker than any others I have used and does not have that extra hole. Basically if I have a Holley 94 on a 34 intake I do not need that hole in the gasket? Also notice my gasket on the carb now is hanging over… odd.

Here are two spare gaskets I have, I should be used the bottom with no hole, right?

Okay I looked up some pictures and I see the extra small hole that has been mentioned above. If I have a proper gasket that would not include that hole, like a stromberg gasket, it could solve the issue if that hole is there?

Okay this may be the case of having an improper mounting base. Would this extra hole be on the intake manifold itself or would it be on the bottom of the carb? I don’t have any extra ports on the carb itself. I will need to pull the carb and check and probably rebuild it again as well. I...

I haven’t rebuilt the carb my self I have sent it off to a preferred rebuilder from here. I’m not sure about and hole and I’m not sure that there are any places to hook a vacuum gauge up to on my engine? I will be working on it to is afternoon and will check these out.

It has been rebuilt twice in about 3 years I think. Last time was a little over a year ago. I could get it rebuilt again but with both rebuilds it has popped while driving under a load and sounded of a small vacuum leak somewhere. I have a tuned “by ear” turn the screws in until it bogs then...

I can’t get my Holley 94 to run well. I’ve messed with idle mix and throttle and it keeps popping and sounds like a pssss sound like a vacuum leak and exploring into that it sounds like it’s from inside the carb. Any tips on this? Still popping in 2nd gear and on pulls.

34 tuning, running, etc… Just got the water pump off my engine and plan to have them rebuilt by skip, also got the generator off and that will be rebuilt too. While waiting for the those to be done I’m putting a new intake manifold gasket on and checking all that through. Also considering the...

34 tuning, running, etc… Another update for you all! Air filter is working well for me still some small popping noise I’ll come back to that in a second. I wanted to drive it to a Christmas party this afternoon but I haven’t driven it far yet so first spin today was to the gas station and back...

Re: 34 tuning, running, etc… Well you know what, I do! I have it I just haven’t cleaned it or oiled it. I know I soak it in kerosene and oil it right? I didn’t know that it have such a difference. I will give this a try.

Re: 34 tuning, running, etc… Adding to this forum as I continue work. I got the spewing of coolant figured out I’m trying to figure out this popping issue. 1st and 2nd gear speeds are fine and sounds great, idling is good as well. But when I’m at a decent road speed pressing the gas under a...

The marine grease says it is applicable to boat trailers so that should be a good option for me. I’ll look Paul up and give him a watch. Thank you!

Sounds good!! In a previous forum I asked about the grease I should use in then mechanical water pump fitting. I was a told just to use the cheapest and lowest temp stuff, but from reading other forums I also see that the grease can get into the water so it needs to be water proof, is that...

Oooh I see so next time it spills out I’ll leave it be and not fill it up any more as long it’s not overheating then I’ll have to come back to the issue then. Got it!
