Carb question. Float specs on 1966 Rochester carb?
I'm probably posting this in the wrong area, I almost always am here, but my current frustration with what should be easily found is having me ask here anyway.
I, for the life of me, cannot find the specifications for the float setting on my Rochester 2G carb. Bought a kit, came without the guage,(I have calipers and tape measures, for crying out loud) but no instructions. Again, I know how to bend the "tang" and set the float, but I cannot find the measurements required for upper and lower limits. 283 V-8, original carb, brass float. My patience with the outfits that sell kits and all the utubes videos is over these days. I'd rather ask someone. Thanks in advance. |

Probably should have added '66 C-20, with original engine and carb.

Thank you Geezer. It's all there. Tiny, tiny print, chart is turned 90 degrees but I'm damn happy!
You saved my day and I can go to work! PS How can a guy named Geezer navigate around these sites and find anything? I should be call "old cantankerous geezer" cuz I am one. |

Re: Carb question. Float specs on 1966 Rochester carb?
It’s just google.
Sometimes the right words are needed. Or I’ll search ‘google images’. Multiple links come up. This time I searched for ‘Rochester 2g float specs’. Saw mikes carbs and opened it. A tip for you on float settings. When at higher elevation you should lower the level slightly. The lower air density tends to let the fuel level sit a bit higher. Sorry about the small print. My I-pad is handy to expand them for me. |
