Well, you know whatever rebuilder Chev's of the 40s is using will take all those basket cases and mismatched parts down to the basement and turn them into as many frankencarburetors as they have the parts to make, saving all unused parts in one of his cleaning baskets for another day's work. And it is nearly a guarantee not one of them will work correctly (no matter how many adjustments the buyer tries) and all the king's horses and all the king's men will never be able to put humpty correctly back together again. Way too many variables in Rochesters. Sad but this little money chase by Chev's of the 40s just compounds the bad rap rebuilt carburetors get.
