Barry,

The guy I talked to said expect a $325 range on the carbs, to put them at an advantage to the real 97's that are just south of $500 each...

Based on what he said, the new 3x2 will not be a 573, but a new (possibly improved?) version...

I have to agree with home folks Barry L that supporting the people on this site that live and breathe Y-Blocks is a must.  I've got two Y-Blocks with parts from John Mummert and you can't go wrong with perfection.  But Barry, I thought you were going to Vegas this week, is this just a little side trip?

Well if you want to go cheap, buy Speedy Bill's chinese junk "9 Super 7" carbs... Seriously, let's wait and see what Jr. is going to charge for the repro 94's before we believe what "The guy I talked to said".



Me, I'll stick with my trio of Stromberg 97's so I don't have to worry about blowing a power valve, haha...

I would expect the "new" 94 to use the blow-proof power valve check ball kits. Might be interesting to determine one of these "blow-proof" kits could be adapted to an original 94. I never understood why Holley let the blown power valve problem go on for so long.

okay, i'm with you on that. but any more new products from current manufacturers that help boost Y interest and help our economy is a good thing.




This ain't no L-Kamino!

Because they haven't made them since ~1957?

BOB

Sorry...what I meant was the Holley power valve problem continued into the "modern" era (1957 to 1990's?) carbs built by Holley.

Mark, I see Edlebrock list a rebuild kit (that includes the correct Power Valve) for the new 94 plus it states that it will also work on Holley 94's. Which indicates that the parts will interchange.



On a side note the New Stromberg 97 parts work on all old 97's and most parts work on the 48's.
