Fuel is pouring out the butterfly shaft bushing, and quite honestly the carb looks like complete hell.
I need a new carb for this old girl. The old Rochester has put in many decades of service, and its time to move on.
I see Carter makes a carb with an ever-appealing auto choke feature.
What do you guys think? Is this a wise move? what do you kings of carburation recommend?

What size engine was it used on?

Don't know which model Carter, what do you think would work? Ive seen a few listed that work on the 235 but I don't have a particular in mind. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 592 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 592 | The Carter YF 2100S was manufactured for the 55-59 235's. It was specifically made by Carter as an aftermarket replacement for the stock Rochester B. It bolts right on and the linkage is an exact match. It is a manual choke. If you start to look for a Carter YF, be sure that you hunt specifically for a 2100S model. There are many different model YF's, and you'll want to find the one made for your '58 235.
