| | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 36 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 36 | Back in the day of 1935, plus or minus 10 years or so, what was the carburetor of choice? Carter or Rochester or maybe something different. Trying to stay as close to original on the old 1-1/2 Ton, but since it had no carb when I got it don't really know what to look for and what model carb. Thoughts please.

It's always nice to know what you are looking for. Tom | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,766 Carburetion specialist | | Carburetion specialist Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,766 | The very first Rochester carb was produced in 1949, a two-barrel used by Oldsmobile.
The first Rochester single-barrel carb was produced in 1950.

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 | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 36 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 36 | Could anyone help on what Model Number of a Carter W-1 I would look for? When I look at Ebay I see several W-1's but they all look somewhat different. Catalog, Serial, Casting, etc. I suppose might help, Tom | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,766 Carburetion specialist | | Carburetion specialist Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,766 |

Unfortunately the tag is missing on my Carter, and I don't see a match with other numbers. This is probably a much later model anyway. I will contact this carb shop and see if they can help ID. Thanks much, Tom | | |
