Problem Solved !

Called Vintage Speed, turns out I did have the wrong carb, he is sending out the right carb today for me, and very resonable I might add.

Real nice people there by the way !

Once again I was steered in the right direction by you folks !

Thanks,

Mike

This truck might get driven this month afterall ! While waiting for the carb, it's header Install time !

Mike: I don't know if this applies to the 94s & 55-56 versions, but I had the same leak down problems with a 57 & later Holley 2300- 2Bbl. With the able help of Ted & John "H", it turned out that the very small orfices in the metering block were plugged.. Hope this helps..

Thanks, will call vintage speed tomorrow, they look like they will be able to help !

Also, is the float level set properly, to high will flood the engine...

Is it a Holley 94? Try Vintage Speed, they have remanufactured 94's, both Holley and Chandler Grove...

OK, I think I found my problem with getting the proper kit, I think my carb b6c-9510-d is a flathead carb, so i am getting the wrong kit for it, I saw a carb on ebay, but says it's for an automatic trans, and it looks totally different

The carb Leaks down after you shut it off, and it's not the float needle that seats properly, I am trying to find the proper kit for it now, no luck locally, so the maiden voyage will just have to wait some more.

I bought a rebuilt from NAPA about 6 months ago.They didn't have it in stock,but they got it the next day from their warehouse in Kansas City.

They show up on eBay ever so often. When am looking for something, I use search words like y-block, 56 Ford, etc. and then break it down by newly listed. Then I check the newly listed every day. Almost anything appears sooner or later. If you're lucky, it's at a time when no one else is looking for what you are looking for.

Mike: what was the problem with the carb to begin with? And now what is the problem? Maybe someone here can help sort it out.. I doubt there are many or any sources for those carbs new.
