The stock carb leaks outta every orifice... I'm not worried about appearing stock or being period correct. What would you replace it with? What have you had the most/least luck with? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 12 | ...Oh - 1965 Chevy SWB fleetside, stock 250

Was a great carb all the way around and I got real good mileage with it for some reason. I also sure do miss my Manual Chokes on my '72's today that my older trucks had.
