Any info on it?
Thanks

Maybe someone knows when/if that heat pipe/stove automatic choke was used on any manual transmission late 50s or early 60s Chevrolet trucks.
What size/year is your engine?
What is the engine serial number code?

I have a later 235 to put in my 48 and am trying to decide if I should stay with either the manual or auto choke Rochester carb or rebuild and use a carter ys2100 that I picked up at a swap meet. Don't know?

Ethanol was eating up my Rochester seals and I had constant vacuum leaks at the throttle valve...put on the Carter 2 years ago and it has been bullet proof. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 |
Thanks guys. Kurt you are right. Bad typing.
Sounds like I should go with the carter.
Thanks

You will need the correct choke stove plate to get heat to the carb. My friend has a 56 car with a stick shift that uses one. It was factory. The Carter carb is always a good choice.
