My truck has a 1959 235 in it with the stock 1 bbl carb. I'd like to jet it down, but don't see any numbers to identify it. What model carb should it be and where would I find a number to verify?

Thanks,

Devin

You could go to Jim Carter's and look there. I'll look and see if I can find out. Here's a link to the page with the carburetor. It's the same one I have on my engine. A Carter YF for the 235.

It's most likely a Rochester model B. There should be a soft brass tag under one of the cover screws but they are generally gone by now. It is a fat one barrel with 4 screws holding the air horn on. They are very simple to work on & change jets or float level.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
