I've been looking for parts for my '59 and I need some super-basic help. I've got a catalog that describes carbs the following ways:
1 BC
2 BC
1 BBL
2 BBL
4 BBL
Can somebody un-abbreviate these for me? Thanks for information. I'm learning from you all every day. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 | Go to NAPA auto parts ,they can help.They have the parts

To avoid confusion I'd avoid using BC for other meanings when talking old Chevrolet. You should contact carbking if you want top quality guearanteed to work carburetors with the support of Jon Hardgrove who I believe is the worlds top expert on vintage carbs. His inventory and selection will blow your mind. Contact the expert and get advise you can trust: [email protected]

I would also advise on contacting carbking. He has not been around much since you have been on, but he knows his stuff! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,896 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,896 | carbking
