Down the road, I want to make some major engine improvements, but for now is there a relatively inexpensive replacement for the Rochester B carbs? Any suggestions/recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

If it says "made for Motorcraft by Carter" on the float bowl, it's a ferd unit. Those run too rich for a Chevy.

If so, do you run 1 or 2 carbs? What changes need to be made or will they bolt right on (with the right intake manifold) or do I need to change other components as well?
I'm a novice looking to upgrade and would like some guidance.

Check out 49 Geezer's post on "Plumbing in H/W's". He's got some really great pics of his process for setting up a 2/1 combo on his site. | | |

Edelbrock is still making them for their clones so you can buy them most anywhere. Also, the YF model parts interchange so if you get a base you like you can put a top from another YF on it to utilize whatever mounting you have on your air cleaner. Doug | | |
