I just got an update from the tech guy at Jim Carter. He tells me that REME378 Rochester carb for 1954-59 Chev 235 and 261 is no longer availible. The REME637 for 1960-62 235 and 261 is $150 + $30 core.
What is the difference in these carbs? Will I notice any difference if I put a '235' carb on my 261 ( stock rebuild )?
Thanks,
Stewart | | |

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 | | |

I guess stock runs out, then its gone! My hunt for the 'right' carb goes on. Does anybody know what applications used a cable throttle as well as choke? My military application uses the commercial knob - PTO related? Stewart | | |
