Rochester Carb Replacements
Hello all-
I'm new to the forum and also new to owning a restored 1962 C10. I do have a question about replacing the leaky Rochester single barrel carb with another single or 2 barrel carb. This is on a 235 6 cyl engine. Wondering who has done this and what make and model of carb you decided to go with and why. Thanks and look forward to gaining a ton of knowledge from this forum.

I went with the Weber 32/36 conversion from langdonsstovebolt.com on my 250. The engine runs smooth with great acceleration. Easy swap!

Thanks Fla Grown!
checking into it and it seems like a favored carburetor within the i6 owners. |

Re: Rochester Carb Replacements
I got my single barrel Rochester from O'Riely's . 30 dollar core. Looks and works great. Down the road I plan on running 2 of them on an offenhauser intake just for the cool factor. By the way I have a L6 230, 2 spd PowerGlide.

Re: Rochester Carb Replacements
I'm also looking at running two carbs. I looked up what Fla Grown recommended at the Langdon's stove bolt site. I found the SKU 08-8011 carb for a duel set up and it seems to have good reviews and looks cool. Plus it's under $100 each. I just need to get some money together to make it happen!
