In a std carb kit for a 235 engine, Rochester B, there are two air horn gaskets. The carb rebuikd kit illustration, shows the one to use is the one that has sort of a small dog leg cut-out at the end opposite the needle-valve seat assy. Where is the other one used. Possibly a BC? Then I've researched the Old Car Manual Rochester parts list, and I find the p/n for that gasket is 7004480 for just about all 50's carb B's. I don't understand. Can anyone chime in and help me out here? Thanks.

Carb kit's usually contain more then one gasket for certain positions so they can cover more models with thesame part number. Match the gaskets to the old ones & disregard the extra's.


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

ChevGene posted the correct answer on the vcca site. The gasket with the bigger hole is for the early low top model b. The gasket with the smaller hole is for the later high top model b.

Thanks everyone for the help. I just don't understand why these kit makers just don't come out and tell you these things. Seems like such a simple thing to do.
