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.

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...
