Hey everyone...

I have a 1966 Chevy c30 with a stock 327 with a Rochester 4 Jet Carburetor. The engine only has 34,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ when the temp outside is good because the manual choke mechanism has broken thus making a rebuild kit useless and ever since I have had this truck, the carb is the one thing that has always given me troubles.. I was thinking of replacing the intake and carb altogether to get a little better performance out of her, but my son is against opening the engine up since it has not been touch (beside normal maintenance) it's whole life.

Does anyone know of a reliable replacement carb that can be installed maybe with an adapter? I am not interested in automatic chokes, kinda like the originality of a manual choke. I know I will be restricted in performance with the stock intake, but without a choke, it will be hard to start and run the truck in the colder months.

Thanks, Russ
