i have a 1935 3 window it has a 221 v8 with a holley 94 model 21-29.
can i use any holley 94 to replace? most i see for sale are for later fords? 39 and up. or are rebuild kits for a 94 universal
 
I believe the correct carburetor for your '35 is the Stromberg 48...

i understand that. but it has a ford script holley 94 model 21-29 on it, idles good just poor response when in gear. will the stromburg 48 drop in place of the holley both 3 bolt
 
well maybe i will have to find one of those???
Dad had this car my whole life i'm 55 now and he gifted it to me. was restored in early 80's. but he never drove it much. after draining bad fuel it started right up but dies when under load. looking forward to getting it on the road again.
 
What petehoovie said... the Stromberg 97 is a sweet carb you won't go wrong...


If you need help rebuilding it Charlie Schwindler is your man he is the best...
 
Don't throw the old carburetor away. The 21-29 carburetor is for a 1942 Ford and Mercury. I know it took a long time to find one for my 1942 Ford.
 
Why not just get Charlie to rebuild what you've got; buy another carbie, $$$, chances are it needs a rebuild, more $$$. Your existing carb, whilst not original to a 35, will still be a good carb, after rebuilding it it should return better fuel consumption than a Stromberg 48 too!
 
Any carburetor originally installed on a 34 through 48 Ford will bolt on and work, with some bending of the fuel line in the case of the Strombergs. The later 49-53 carburetors can also work if the vacuum advance port for the distributor is plugged. If originality is not the first concern I personally prefer the later Ford / Holley design carburetors. The Stromberg units seem a bit more tolerant of neglect than the Ford / Holley units.
Are you sure the carburetor is the problem?
Have you considered buying a carburetor kit and going through it yourself?
 
yep that is my plan. for now. that carb has been on there my whole life and i know it ran good for years. car has been sitting for long time. dad would always start it but hasnt been driven, except on driveway.
 
Check with Daytonaparts.com for a carb kit, I hear they have a correctly machined power valve. The kit should cover a wide range of models of the 94 carbs.
