The tomco carb I bought is junk and was a mistake for my 200. Is it possible to find an adapter to put a Holley 94 on? I have a few 94’s sitting around.

First would be if the float has stuck you can gently tap on the carb top with a soft hammer or screwdriver handle to see if it frees it. Then would be if some dirt or crude has goten on or between the Needle or seat so that the float isn't shuting the fuel flow off. Next would be if the float level setting isn't correct i.e. It's set way too high. Next is that the needle and seat are defective or damaged. Lastly could be caused from a bad float i.e. It's to heavy and is sinking to the bottom of the fuel bowl. In all these cases except for the first the carb's top needs to come off to check these issues out. If the carb rebuilder gave you a warntee on the carb you want to check with them first before you disassemble it as most times this will void the warrantee. If their isn't any warrantee then carefully disassemble the carb top for a good look inside. Good luck

500 rpms in gear.
I have a 65 Mustang 200. Pertronix ign., Duraspark dist. Recurved, Crane 91 LX hi current coil, MSD 6A box. .050 gap on Autolite plugs.
600 RPM was as low an idle as I could attain. The conversion wasn't truly finished until I sealed those vac leaks in the 1100. I removed the choke for better breathing. Converted back to ported vac, as I was running engine non ported to dist, before. This combo is a large step upward in driveabilty!
