Okay, I've got 7 rochester carbs and I know thier model B BV BC? Only three have tags, is there a ID# on the carb that will identify it? I might assume that most kits available today will cover most if not all rochester "B" carbs? Another thing, are the kits from the flaps good enough or should I special order the kits. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks, Phil

The BC carb will be an automatic choke carb.
Most kits come with a 216 engine carb to intake gasket.If it fits a 235,you will need to get the appropriate gasket for carb to intake.I believe most kits cover all of them,I'm sure someone will chime in soon that knows for sure.

Not on the carburetors produced prior to 1968. 1968 and newer carbs have a stamped identification number.

"I might assume that most kits available today will cover most if not all rochester "B" carbs?"

We have a total of 280 listings for Rochester "B", "BC", and "BV" carbs. There are a total of 81 DIFFERENT kits servicing these carbs.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
