Will I finally got the 327 back in the Model A and got the carbs on it . Looks like I will actually have more room to get the distributor down in there than I had with the 3 duces ....

This is a Weiand manifold with Ford 94's ..... I had to trade some premo parts for it but WTF .....there is four of em ...

looks great. are the difficult to tune and sync.

I will find out later this week Kenny , I set them up equal , so when I pu the fire to them we will find out .It is not like 3 duces I had on there before .... I could run off just one of those ...one of these runs 2 cylinders ...

Pretty sure with that manifold you have to run them all straight up, no way to go progressive. Had a friend running that manifold with rochesters, seems like that is what he told me.

Yea Rusty , I think that is what I said , there will be no way to run these except all the way with all 4 ... you friend give you any pointers ??[S
 
Nice.

It does look pretty crowded. Waiting patiently for pics of this with distributor and thermostat housing installed. [P

He was running the Rochester carb so I don't know how those compare with the 94s. I ran the 94s on my 6x2 setup for a while till I switched to the 97s I have now. What I played around with and fought the most was the secondary circuit. I never got the lag between the primary and secondary figured out. But I was also trying to run one bank as primary and two as secondary with a progressive linkage. You just have to keep tweaking with the power valves. I got impatient and just switched to the 97s.

One thing I did learn from him.... I also now label my carbs with what my jets and mains are just like he did here.

 
I am still playing with this setup and hope to have some info soon , but I think I an going to take them off because I need to break this motor in ......thanks Rusty , good info

Yeah, I don't think I would try to break in a motor with that setup. Somewhere I have some really good setup info, but I can't seem to find where I kept it.

It's been awhile since I have been into the 94s, so I may have this wrong, but on the 97s. After I have been playing with the linkage or redoing every thing. I set just the bases on the motor, and make sure all the carbs are starting out with the butterflies fully shut with the linkage all the same. Then I put the rest of the carb on. I can't remember if the 94s work that way as well. I do remember the 94s linkage is reversed from the 97s. Then I start playing with getting the airflow the same in all the carbs, that is key to getting them running smooth. I use the sycn tool with the small bubble that floats, I've had better luck with it than the Holley tool with the gauge.

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong was I was trying to lean the idle circuit down to much and it was causing the carbs to pull from the running circuit which just made things worse. So when I went richer on the idle circuit it actually leaned out and started running better :rolleyes:
 
Well I have it running and it is ssssssssweet........ I was lucky [?] and it took very little adjustment to smooth it out . I had gas leaking out of the front carb after shut off but took care of it with a rebuild kit ...new needle valve and float adjustment was the culprit I believe .

The distributor went in a lot easier than on the 3 duce's and it was real close to timed .

I took a 27 second movie but it will not load after an hour it said missing a "tokin"

Does anyone know how to compress a movie like pictures ?????

Finally together.....Running ..and on to the next 7 year old project in the background
