I have been trying to find out where to get a rebuild kit for my Rochester one barrell with auto choke and auto tranny. Everyone I spoke with told me that a 54 chevy pickup would have a manual choke - only cars had auto chokes. So I contacted a rebuilder and they are shipping me a 54 Belair Rochester carb with auto choke for an auto tranny. Question - how will this stack up with what would have been an original manual choke Rochester 1 barrel? Any cfpm differences, etc. ?

I've found that the off the shelf Napa rebuild kit has the choke parts in it too. I fitted an auto choke rochester from a mid 60's 250 onto my 261 and I had no trouble rebuilding it with the napa kit other than a jet change which the kit doesn't cover anyway. All the rest of the internals are the same.
