Thanks Carcrazy and Ford38V8. Ford38V8 you mentioned “but do no use any colorizing at all” I’m not sure what that means.

Catfish, your carb is indeed a 94, and was manufactured by Ford, as confirmed by the F near the base of the accelerator pump. It is one of several of the era, identical in all but cosmetic respects. One more photo can nail it down specifically as being either 1938 or 1939: the driver side float bowl will be without a mark of any kind (1938), or will have 91-99 (1939) . Both examples are scarce, hard to find, and of considerable value. Rebuilding a 94 is not difficult, but will require specific parts not found in most rebuild kits. I would advise using parts available from daytonaparts.com for functionality, but do not use any colorizing at all.

The Chandler Groves Carburetor became the Holley 94 Model after 1938. Rebuilding techniques should be similar to those for the Holley.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge. My carburetor in a Chandler Groves, I think a model 94. Anyone have any experience rebuilding on of those? Below are some pictures of the carburetor.

Not sure if you have the Stromberg 97 carb, but I found these 4 part videos on Youtube very helpful when rebuilding my 97 carb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBAD1BwoFv0&t=1s

This is a longshot, maybe when you apply the brakes something is shorting out the primary ignition circuit causing a loss of spark.

Thanks to all for the valuable input. I'm going to look to see which carburetor I have this evening. Does anyone know of a publication or website that details how to rebuild these carburetors?

Suggest you look at the fuel system also. Check the float level in the carburetor, fuel pump pressure and may want to change the flex fuel line going into the fuel pump from the steel line from the gas tank
