Technical Methanol 2 Barrel

Anyone know of a methanol 94 style 2 barrel carb?

 

No but if you do a search Mike Bishop aka Av8 did a tech here about 15 years ago. I have it printed off but I do not know if it still in the archives.

 

be careful, carbs do not do well on alcohol in colder weather. the fuel tends to freeze causing sticky linkage and jetting

 

Methanol or ethanol alcohol? Big difference. Methanol is used for racing, ethanol is mixed in gasoline.

 

3- 94,s on a flathead I ran E85 with sucess by pluging the power valve and enlarging the jets to .055 and installing leather acellerator pump,s. Only draw back it is cold natured in cool weather.

 

I'll bet it runs good in the summer, do you need higher volume fuel pump?

 

The hotter it got(within reason) the better it ran. No on the fuel pump for e85 however when I went to straight alky and strombergs I had to put an alky fuel pump and pressure regulator on it.

 

Back to the origional question, I do not know if a 94 can pass enough enough fuel, due design to run methanol as it takes 2 to 2.5 times the alky as gas. E85 you on need a little richer mix to get the job done.

 

My old boss ran 4 strombeg's on a smallblock Chevy on methanol back in the 60's....I think he modified them substantially however...

 

I was thinking of putting some 94 alky carbs on my X1 intake from the coupe (but cant find the things no where) onto the rail but now I'm thinking of just putting on a Holley Tri-Power kit

 

I still have our old strombergs we ran alky in , in the 1960,s and they had .076 main jets and no. 65 power valve and a larger needle and seat.

 

Methanol all the way we used to be huge advocates for Ethanol, then they ruined it at the pump by letting it be as low as 50% and not have to say anything. They also want us to use Steel drums around here when we get E98 packaged for us, which will rust from the inside out. Do yourself a favor and go Methanol and make more power for less money. Just call Willy's Carb shop and have him build you carbs.

 

Alcohol in general when under pressure then atomized is a refrigerant.. this evident on blown alky applications and NA injected engines using mechanical injections where the intake at times will return from a pass and have frost on it....
