What is the purpose of the Spark Valve on the Holley 94 Carburetor and what models/years were they used? Any info on this much appreciated.

They control the spark advance on 8BA distributors. Used on '48 pickups, '49 passenger and later.

This is a short explanation: "At the carburetor, the SPARK CONTROL VALVE (that thing that looks like a Holley power valve sitting on the outside of the carb), uses a diaphragm and springs to mix the venturi signal and the manifold vacuum signal, so that the right instructions are sent to the Load O Matic advance canister." From this link: http://m571.com/yblock/loadomatic.htm I believe the spark valve started on the y-block

Thanks for the insight - I am rebuilding an early 94 and they included a Spark Valve in the kit - learn something everyday
