I own a 1952 GMC with a 228, i recently purchased a dual carb ellis and i need carbs for it. The intake came with 2 zenith carbs but they are not repairable. Can someone recommend some carbs to put on the intake? they dont have to be zeniths. I was thinking rebuilt rochesters that are cheap.

Carters or Holleys would be a better choice over the Rochesters. They are about the same cost. The 2100S Carter would be perfect, just make sure to get a matched pair, some rebuilers will slip ford units in a GM box.

I have used rochesters on a Nicson two carb manifold with no problems, just match up everything, i.e. jets,etc.

That's a pretty good deal. Most single barrel carbs I've priced are around $160-180 for a reman.
