Right now it has a Rochester 1BBL #7013029 "B" Carb. One problem I am having is the fuel bowl and horn assembly are not flat. In places a .013 feeler gauge will fit between the fuel bowl and horn with no gasket. Is this a something that anyone has ever tried to fix and get the surfaces flat again?
I have another Rochester #7023017 1BBL Carb. that I could use from a 1963-67 Chevy 230 cid engine. Again the two surfaces are not flat on this carb. either. Is this a better carb or does this carb work without too much work?
I am trying to decide if I should try to fix and rebuild the original 1BBL carb or use the later model carb from a 230. Would it be better to forget about the Rochester and go with a Carter YF #2100S ? What is the best carb to use on a stock intake manifold. I want to keep the manual choke.
The reason why I am rebuilding the carb is to fix a hesitation problem. It also runs lean judging from looking at the spark plugs when they should be rich looking from the type of short trip driving I do. The engine is mechanically good and the ignition seems to be in good working order.
Thanks for any help | | |
