Gents, I have a 1940 1/2 ton pickup that has been fitted with a '55 model Blue Flame motor-235. I am gradually going through it rebuilding/repairing/tidying up, etc. and have now tackled the carburettor. It is a Rochester with what appears to be an automatic choke. The only numbers I can find are 9283 stamped on it. Would this have been the original carby or could it have had a carter or something else. There is a small metal tube at the rear/top, which goes into the intake manifold, just sitting in a hole in it. Should it be fitted to the manifold?
I wish to obtain a rebuild kit for the carby and sort out anything else that doesn't seem right.
Many thanks for your help in the past, Bob
