The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Carb replace,

If it were me, I'd get a stock intake manifold and replace with one model BC properly rebuilt and jetted correctly. Make certain it is rebuilt with ethanol resistant parts and make certain the airhorn either wasn't warped or has been fixed correctly. Please note: I'm not as negative about the Rochesters as some, and while I could be wrong I believe I can come up with ways to solve some of their problems and basically I don't believe they are bad carburetors. I say BC because long ago I decided a working auto choke was much better at its job than I'd be.

Or get a Carter if you prefer, but if you drive your truck infrequently enough that your carb becomes dry I believe there is a neoprene part in there you'll become handy at replacing every year or two and if it gets dry enough it is possible you might have to replace more often than that. But hey...once you've done that a couple of times it will give you a reason to never let that carburetor become dry. If you want an example of what neoprene does when it dries out, ask any plumber or tilesetter...even an apprentice. It is one of the first things he/she learned about toilets and the reason any tilesetter worth hiring figures out what toilet bowl seals will be needed at the end of the job.
