I rebuilt a Rochester B a few months ago. I was having trouble getting a Carter W-1 to idle properly (sometimes idling high, mostly stalling, hard starts). I plan to rebuild the Carter (I think the issues had something to do with ethanol) I took pictures and followed the filmstrip re-creation on Deve's site (courtesy of Brad Allen) There also is a link to Mike's Carburetors for a manual for the B. Once installed on my '47 1/2 ton with a 216, it ran way better - smooth acceleration and it idled at idle! Some good advice above. Take your time.


It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
