Technical Power valve source

Where are you guys getting the Holley 94 power valves? The rebuild kit from speedway had the wrong ones. I found the style I need on eBay some NOS but I’m not sure what size they are. I have a rebuilt flathead with custom isky cam and dual carbs.

 

That guy in Florida sends em right away via Ebay. Charlie something, I think his eBay name may be realrodder. Something like that.

Thanks I found him.

 

If you mean Charlie Price, I would suggest you check him out before dealing with him. Some people love him, others, not so much.

Just educate yourself first.

 

^^Denny it's an eBay thing for me. Been a while, but I got several little parts from them and they were shipped instantly. And the PVs were right on.

 

I get mine here: https://www.carburetor-parts.com/holley-94-power-valves

 

I usually buy from whoever is cheapest for parts and shipping on Ebay, and located in the USA. So far never had an issue in many years. I do look at a seller's feedback first to make sure it's up in the 98.5% or higher, and not a brand new seller.

 

A stock one is about 7.5in-Hg.

If you are running multiple carburetors, divide that number by the number of carburetors.

I recently did a 3x2 setup, with 2.5in-Hg valves in each. Dead-on.

 

Anyone who makes an online purchase from someone they haven't dealt with before and doesn't check them out first is making a big mistake. Period.

 

Charlie's done me right - recently too - leaned my lesson buying a carb kit from shoebox central, had to machine the power valve in the lathe but the crummy gaskets it came with still leaked (inlet and jet plugs) - charlie to the rescue with the good stuff

 

Call Charlie Price.

 

Just my experience and I am aware that others may not mirror mine. I have done a number of transactions with Charlie Price over the past 20 years. Everything from small parts to complete carbs. Perhaps I am lucky. Perhaps it's clear communication. But I have never had an issue with any of my orders. And you can't deny he is extremely knowledgeable about old carbs. I have no connection to Charlie beyond just being a customer.

 

I have rebuilt 4 Holley 94s with Charlie price kits; including new oversize throttle shafts, throttle plates ,screws, etc. I would do a couple more if I had good bases.

 

I've used Mike's for a lot of different carbs and parts. Great place for parts and videos.

 

+1, dealt with him 12 years ago and about 6 months ago. Both times everything went fine, and shipped fast too. I even ordered a bunch of small bits and nothing got missed. I have had much better luck with him than I have some other prominent vendors that never seem to require a “disclaimer”
