Through the years I have accumulated a few carbs for my 24 stud flathead which I pulled from a 39 Panel. I am now ready to install the fuel system and I want to know which carb I should use; the Stromberg 97 or the Ford 94? Next, I need to know who to send the carb to for rebuilding. Has anyone ever seen a Johnson carburetor, Model JDF-2 made by Marvel-Schebler? I have a new one still in the box.

I believe that the 94 carburetor is a better carburetor than the 97. The fuel inlet is in the float bowl top of the 94s, rather than the side of the bowl as on the 97s. The 94s use a center-hung float, which is less likely to cause flooding or starvation in corners as the side-hung design of the 97s. The 94s used spray bars for discharging fuel in the main system, while the 97s used emulsion tubes. Finally, the 97's are more expensive to rebuild. My choice for a rebuilder is Daytona Carburetor.
