Trying to get my 1936 Phaeton to run better.. Right now it has the 94 carb and the power valve issues seem to haunt me. It runs poorly under load. We fixed a cracked intake, had the dist gone over by a "professional" so stuck or leaking valves and the carb seem to be the issues. Should I go to a 97? I understand that is the original (1936). Where can I get a "good' one and what jet should I need. We are at 3000 ft. I understand I need to pull the engine to determine the bearing type. I am getting ready to do that, but I want to get it running as good as I can before that. Who and Where is Bubba? Thanks

"Bubba" gets a lot of press on fordbarn and almost all of it I have read is good. Do a search on his name. I think of him mainly for ignitions but he may do other work. Bubba's Hot Rod Shop 1330 Main Street Speedway, Indiana 46224 1-888-809-3835 info@bubbashotrodshop.com Charlie Stephens

I recently put one of the new 94's from Dennis Carpenter on a 40 pickup. The old carb was just plain worn out.The new 94 performs excellent and was well worth the price.

You can buy a new reproduction of the Stromberg 97, or a new Dennis Carpenter model 94 or have your current carburetor professionally rebuilt by Daytona Carburetor or Ken Isador in Connecticut, if you are sure that your problems are carburetor related. Either the 97 or the 94 should work fine on your car, just make sure that you tell the rebuilder about your 3,000 ft requirement. No carburetor will perform correctly with stuck or leaking valves in the engine. I would fix your engine problems first and then you may find that your carburetor will work fine. Tom

94's can be made to run ok on a 36 BUT is wrong carb for one. Either a Strom. 48 or a Strom 97 is correct for 36 depending if early or late 36.I prefer Stroms for its completely mechanical power-valve and are correct for 36. omo. as a rebuilder. ken ct. igadore@sbcglobal.net
