Hello my Ford Barn Brothers. Main Jets in my "Ford" 94 carb has puzzled me. Finally scored some different sizes at RPM Performance 5 different pairs for like $12 on Ebay. Pulled out 50's, and I believe they were original in my 47 Flatty. Tried 54's first, since I'm in So. CA. near sea...

OH!.... what do you think if I did go up a couple jet sizes? Doesn't really run too rich yet.

Those are all good and "REAL" comments. I guess the motor just seemed to not work as hard to make the same power. It seems to be less power than before that's all. I know what I need to do and quit trying to find a easier way to pump up the power. I am pretty sure the gears in the rear...

Thanks JSeery, runnin 15" in rear, 14's in the front. I'll check into the book, sir Mike

Hi Friends... Lovin my 47 Flattie. Here in So CA, I have some hills to climb when I'm out cruzin. NEED MORE POWER. I'm totally stock, except for dual exaust. Found a 2" riser for my Ford 94 carb. It's all installed with nice Holly good flowing Air Cleaner. I thought maybe the better...

I know, it's not cheap. But it is super solid and needs little. Original Flathead V8 runs good. Smooth and quiet. Odometer says 25,300 miles, and it just might be actual miles. Don't know for sure. Still 6 Volt, and a new battery, cranks and starts very well, and everything works except...

Sorry for the typo.... The new Power Valve did not leak. So some improvement on running too rich. Problem now is the rpms fall off too much when coming to a stop, and motor dies. Am I too lean on my idle mixture ? Thanks

Hello Fellas... Since my V8 with 94 carb was running real rich, after the carb rebuild. The Forum got me switching out the Power Valve. And it did leak on me after I filled to bowl. The new PV doesn't leak, but now I can seem to set the fuel mixture for idle and idle screw. If I get...

Great help. Tom. Did like you said and only cussed a little. Still not done with these brakes, but my bad, stripping out that brake line thread. Plus, waiting on new Emergency Brake cable.... Hunpy's was all fraid on the Pax side.

Sorry for you and family, Johnny The night my POP died his spirit jumped up on my shoulder and has been with me ever since. May your MOM ride with you forever! Mike

Hey "39", Just did that too. I am sure the amount of crud in your fender seam makes all the difference with this task. "40"s right, loosen your bolts so there is room to place the beading in (past where you want it to end up), as you move from fender bolt to fender bolt it will settle. Tip...

Thanks everyone, I knew I'd be doing this right. It's still up on blocks and I'm going back in. Report to follow

Hi all... newbe here. But I have been really impressed with the generous help you members offer. I'm gonna need lots of advise.:rolleyes: So... since I am new here. Let me ask a couple of dumb questions.:D My project arrived from Texas, it's a really clean and original 47 Tudor. But...
