1969 Rochester 1bbl: Rebuild or Buy New

[Luke87gt]

Hi guys, some of you have been following my new purchase, 1969 c10 250.

I had planned to rebuild the carb (1bbl Rochester) but have since considered buying a replacement new given the low cost.

What do you guys think? I was thinking rebuilding a carb could be great for education purposes, but from watching YouTube videos, it looks like there’s quite a bit involved.

I already have the Standard Products rebuild kit in hand.

If I go the rebuild route, do you guys have any step by step references I can follow? How long should i expect this to take?

If I go new, any recommendations for sources to buy new? Thanks all
