The Rochester B has a well-deserved bad rap around here. But I’d hazard a guess that more Bolters are running them, than those than are running a YF. When I see a Stovebolt-powered vehicle, be it a car or truck, at a show…9 times out of 10 it’s running a Rochester.

I made the change to the YF and wouldn’t even think about going back. But depending on your goals and willingness to -~make~ the Rochester B work….it can be made to work.

It would take nearly zero effort, and very little money, to throw a kit in yours and see what happens.
