Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 25 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 25 | I am having a problem with the Rochester 1 barrel on my 48. had it rebuilt, but it apparently has a ball stuck in one of the passages that he couldn't get out, so it still isn't right. I was looking into ordering a new (rebuilt) one, but have been seeing a lot about the carter yf carbs. would this be a better carb for my truck? its one of those things that I enjoy driving, and when it actually gets used, its used a lot. but it sits a lot during the winter months also. I was hoping someone who might have experience with both could chime in and kind of offer some advice. thanks in advance for your help. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 | boonie, try using the Stovebolt Search function. This subject has been discussed hundreds if not thousand of times here on the “Bolt”. Some interesting reading to be had.
