They will all work together, but don't look as good. Carb King doesn't like Rochesters and has good luck with Carters. you might like them better. Try contacting him for good advice. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I'd say go with the early style with manual choke on the center carb. Don't hook up the chokes on the 2 outboard carbs, you won't need them.
I will say that I go along with Carb King. I don't care much for the Rochester either. Seen too many of them either have cracked float bowls or warped bases. Or both like the one that was on mine. Carters are OK, as long as they're matched. Been ther, done that. Got mismatched carbs from the remanufacturer (one was a FORD carb). Now running matched Holley 1904s, IH application (GMC used them too), very happy with them.

Never have a problem starting carbed cars.
so the 2 on the left are later models?? i take it they are a bit better than the older one then???
so i should go with the 2 one the left and get a 3rd to match?!?!
thanks guys
and who is carb king? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | Whatever you go with, they need to all be matched- all the same jets, power valve oriface, springs, accelerator pumps, and vacuum ports. Otherwise they will fight you and you will get mixture problems between the cylinders. I would sell the ones you have and get three that you know match.
