Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |

Did some research and found that I actually had a carb for a 54 Belair. A 54 Belair 235 single barrel Rochester works fine. Ordered and received mine through NAPA. Was in a hurry and also ordered one from KOI Parts Stores and another from AutoZone. Received all in four days, kept the best and sent two back w/out a re-stocking charge. Installed and it runs GGGGREAT!!
