Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 70 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 70 | Looking for recommendation for carb for my 51 gmc. It has the original zenith on there-
So the question is rebuild or is there a replacement?
It’s basically stock with the only changes being pertronix ignition and 410 gears to replace the 513s
Thanks in advance–
