Hi,All! A friend gave me a Rochester B,since mine had a stuck "BB",in the fuel discharge. This came off a '54 2-ton 6500,with a ' 261,B.T.W. I got it torn-down,and let it soak over the week-end. Today,I re-built it. When I tried to put the base gasket on my intake,the bolts were off about 1/4 inch! Spread was shorter than intake on my '55 261. I tried the "new" carb,without the gasket-SAME thing! I swapped the lower part,(throttle body),and it bolted right up. I just cleaned the original base gasket good,and dumped some gas in the carb.,to prime the pump. Started right up-every time,but no gas to carb-1/2-full tank! Ran the battery dead,trying to get gas to the carb! flipped the seat forward,and-LOOKY HERE! I forgot to hook the fuel line back up from the pick-up tube!! L.O.L. Maybe,if I get all my ducks in a row,I'll have this thing running tomorrow?? If you can't laugh at your mistakes,don't make any! Me?...I'm laughing all the time!! Have a GREAT day!!
