I did mine and was surprised to see how easy it really was. Just take one section apart at a time and replace parts as you go. I NEVER have done anything with carbs but did it. Runs like a dream now.

If so where do you get them? Local speed shop? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 | I had already gotten someone to rebuild it and it was a little pricey. I have rebuilt them myself and they never run good so it was ether buy one or have it rebuilt. I still haven't put it on yet but will today. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 44 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 44 | I have a 66 as well with the 250. I am going to rebuild my carb but I have also checked and Autozone carries the single barrel rochester carbs starting at $149.00. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 | I paid 169 for the rebuilding so I should have call Autozone that sounds like the way to go. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I paid 169 for the rebuilding so I should have call Autozone that sounds like the way to go. Wrong! It's better to rebuid the one that came with it. More then half the "remans" are not right. They juggle parts & have one part number fit many. They often don't match the engine.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

That is an easy,inexpensive fix that can really help with how the truck runs. If your timing in not advancing this could be contributing to the running rich problem. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 150 | Thats good to know Wrenchbender and that is way I come on here. | | |
