  1. Stock Chevy Discussion 55-56-57
    Will this carburetor work on my 1957 Chevrolet 210 with the 235? The stove pipe inlet seems to be on the side which mine is on the bottom. The fuel inlet looks a bit smaller than mine and the choke plate design is different as well. But it is a Rochester bc carburetor in the pictures. Is this...

    57, 283, Carter WCFB, Mechanical Fuel Pump, Powerglide, about 3.73 differential. What do I need to troubleshoot or look for or suspect? Sorry for the length, but it seems important to the question. 98% of the time the car runs smooth. Occasionally, it flutters out under normal acceleration...

    Good day! I just purchased a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air with an original 265. However, the GM intake casting number is 3746829 (I think that's from a 58-61 283) and I plan to put an Edelbrock 1406 carburetor on it (because it currently has a two barrel on it). I am not sure what carburetor...

    Has anyone here used the Edelbrock 7094 dual quad linkage? I'm trying to figure out the range of adjustment and am getting conflicting information. I have a factory dual quad '57, but the carbs are simultaneously non-original and junk, so I'm swapping them out with Edelbrock AVS2 carbs with...

    I just had my 235 totally rebuilt and am thinking about replacing the stock Rochester carb with one of Langdon's 32/36 2 bbl carbs...has anyone done this and have any suggestions as to what I must or should do to make this go smoothly? And, out of curiosity, what could I expect in terms of hp...

    ... I decided to fabricate one myself. There are plenty of debates and articles about what spacer configuration (four-hole, divided, open-hole) and material (aluminum, phenolic, plastic) to use, if any. The intent of this post is not to engage in those debates, but I would not be surprised if...

    My 57 with a Rochester 2 jet, inline filter, and mechanical fuel pump loses its prime in 24 hours. I have to dump gas in the carb to get it running. Once it's running it runs like A champ. After shutdown, 24 hours later the inline filter is dry, and it won't start without a gas dump in the carb...

    Right side exhaust header has a non threaded hole on the top. I've read these are used for choke controls on the carb. Do I need to plug it as the engine seems to run fine without it or add a choke to the carb (Rochester 4Jet)? the exhaust still has the heat spring valve attached. The engine...

    I just had my carburetor gaskets replaced and all that, and i found that the carb is shot. It wont keep the idle that it is given so it is stuck on high idle. So what would you guys recommend for a four barrel carb? I have a 57 intake manifold on there according to the numbers (3731398) and I...

I noticed that it was running a little rough so i cleaned all of the plugs. A couple were fouled so i put non fouler ends and put them back in with a...

    Hi folks. Could anyone help me with some questions about my carburetor? I disassembled the 2 bbl carb that was on my 283 and dunked it for cleaning. After cleaning, I inspected the choke housing and found that the piston was off of its lever. It appears that a pin that holds the lever to the...

    I have a 56 Bel Air 4-door HT bought new by my grandmother. It is unrestored and I am trying to keep it stock. The 2GC carburetor on it is finicky. Rebuilding it never seems to make it quite right, and I would like to buy a new replacement carb. Are they available anywhere? I would even...
