Hi all!
After much deliberation I've decided to replace my original carb and harmonic balancer. I've kept EVERYTHING original until now, but the Rochester B just leaks too dang much and has throttle issues. Cleaned it and done a rebuild kit three times now. The seals on the Harmonic have gone bad, so I guess it's time to replace it with something new. I'm too worried the wobble it's developed will ruin my engine. And I'm not buying a used one again..
The engine is an original 1957 235 Straight 6. I've seen some suggestions on which carbs to change to, but my actual issue has been finding one!
My problem is I'm not looking for a used with rebuilt kit. I'm looking for a reproduction or something new. But I still want it to have manual choke and manual throttle cable attachments.
Does anyone know a place that sells something like that? I'm 100% ok switching to Carter or another brand. Just looking for manual choke and manual throttle. Probably stay with single bbl unless you guys suggest a reason otherwise. Not looking to make her a powerhouse, I want to keep her original farmhouse feel
Same question on the Harmonic. I've seen a few that *SAY* they fit on Summit Racing, but can anyone vouch for the new harmonics on these trucks? Just want to check with you guys before I buy one.
Thanks for any input!
