Could someone help me with float setting dimensions on a Ford 15/16 version of the Holley 94? I'm guessing this is a model 2100 for which the dry float setting is 1 9/32".  

Also, I need to run a vacuum line to my distributor from the carb. Can I do this with copper tubing and fittings from my local hardware store? This carb worked marginally on the original 2v manifold.

Am now trying to set up 3 deuces and seem to be having fuel problems. The ignition checks out fine... the engine turns over... starts briefly then seems to choke itself out. Am assuming a vacuum leak at the vacuum line.

Thanks. himmelberg

I've been an F-1 fan since Wide World of Sports would air the race at Monaco back in Phil Hill's glory years. Mid sixties?

Pulled the plug on cable two years ago. School teachers don't have 50-60 bucks a month to blow on the garbage that rules the airwaves nowdays. The exception, of course, F-1 and certain food channel guys.

Now I "watch" the races on the net. F-1's site has live timing, recording times in 3 sectors, total lap time, ins and outs of the pits, text commentary, weather, and position as it happens.

Lots of data doesn't compare to watching it live... still have to get up before the chickens when they race overseas... but it's something. How bout those BARS filling up the second row? Enjoy the race. himmelberg

... came with my '54 F-100, now, four years in my stable. It has the two button switch on my keychain and has stopped working. Battery has been changed.

I can feel the solenoids in the back part of the door frame and the wire that tugs on the catch that holds us shut. The button under the dash will open the doors from the inside... but I have to reach inside from without to gain access.

Is there some little radio gizmo in there somewhere that triggers the solenoids? What would it look like? Where would it likely be found?

I just finished a major tuneup on the old Y block and am a bit weary, thinking I could jump on the door openers with some hints from you guys and gals.

Thanks. himmelberg

The timing is perfect, school is out the 28th. Need to make the trip to see old friends. Where are they holding it this year? All I know is that it grew out of the old Pate Museum grounds years ago

Working with kids is great stuff... builds endurance, enthusiasm and energy. Fooling with the truck brings the balancing calm to all that other.

Definately. There is no substitute for the light and ventilation you will enjoy. himmelberg

Am not sure about this "old guy" stuff. I, for one, am not old.

Have dropped the AARP stuff... not worth the mountain of offers and constant sales pitch. Don't get to use the discounted stuff enough. Looks like the AAA might be in order as I am inclined to buy cars that are closer to my age than current offerings from manufacturers.

None of this is very important... just wanted to try the new board. I like it. himmelberg
