Anyone running the Daytona UN2 carburetor with their 216 cu engine with the stock intake. I’m wondering how my existing fuel and vacuum advance lines are going to line up. I currently have stainless lines plumbed and I don’t really want to make up new lines if possible.

You are planning to replace your current Rochester B (with the warped body) with this?

Have you read this thread? https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1342270/1.html

Interesting thread. Gabe seems happy with his Daytona. I wonder how it's doing 3 years later?

Just looking into my options. I don’t want to change if I don’t need to. The bowl I have is warped and I am going to try to straight it using a method suggest elsewhere on this sight be slowly pulling down the corners of the bowls. But if this goes bad it’s good to have options. I’ve attached a picture for reference.

ChevyDarren, what's your time-line on this? We have a 2-part Tech Tip that's in the home stretch about the Rochester B carb. (A few facts to confirm and then it'll be ready for "print.") The second part has to do with correcting the warping of the two parts. Good news is that it can be done.

BTW: I really like the image of the UN2 you posted. It's clean and purdy.

https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...o-straighten-your-rochester-b-or-bc.html This link has already been referenced. My time line is now. I hate that my truck is down. I want to be able to drive it. I'll be interested to see what you have. The more information the better.

Ok. It is part of Jon G's post you referenced. I'll send the file in an email as I suggested in the PM. On it's way now.

Darren, straightening your carburetor castings won't be too difficult. You can always let me know if you have any questions. Main thing is to take your time.
