I had stock mounts for 30 years then put in floating rear but left front stock, can't say there was a hill of beans difference in the two. Floats big advantage seems to be it's easier to pull engine and replace.

Hey guys got the Big 97 Stromberg with 2 5/8 neck. The stock flatheads of 30's had this size. I have one of those small ones that restricts air flow. I contacted Uncle Max at Stromberg and he recommended this style cleaner. So if you have one let me know. Steve:)

For Thomas Head from Snyders part number is B-6051-C it has 573 stamped on it, I had tried copper first, spoke to them and they recommended this one as it was thinner and would not require many re-torques. Note I had leak up head bolt between 1 and 2 when I pulled head there was nothing wrong...

Y is correct I used wrong term the 94's use vacuum actuated power valve that needs to be blocked/changed to keep it from opening too soon. It's not rocket science, but it can be a pain in the *** to get set up so the setup works right. 97's have a mechanically actuated PV that opens when the...

94's use vacuum secondary's which look for low vacuum to indicate you are doing 30 and want to be doing 70 which is where the problem lies. Model A's are a low vacuum motor. Have people run 94's on them absolutely some block the secondary completely and choke down jets so she runs right but then...

No shocks, here is a tip, do not store your jack under your seat cushion.

Ford installed vacuum gauge at factory mounted it on windshield so it could be seen easily he put rubber on the needle so wouldn't scratch glass. Checking vacuum is as simple as moving switch to activate gauge, indicator needle completely dependent on vacuum, fast movement indicates high vacuum...
