    Picked up a trip power manifold with three carbs A few years ago. Has 3 different Ford carbs… 59, an EAB,& EC.
    Do I need to find better and matching carbs?
    I’m getting old, I forgotten everything I don’t remember.

    I am going through this on my YouTube channel with the various Holley 94 models. The ECWs and the ECG6's have the better annual boosters and the larger bores for cfm. They also have a pesky vacuum p***age that goes to the power valve chamber (all other Holley 94's do not have this p***age).

    The build starts with this video. There are several on my channel.

    Y-Block tri powers had two different port sizes, early 239 style and later style. They do not interchange, had a friend that bought one at a swap meet and invested a bunch of money and time into it before he realized he had the wrong one. Here is an late gasket laid over an early gasket. FYI, Mark IMG_0502.JPG
