My '48 Chevy 1/2 ton p.u. is powered by a rebuilt 1955 235 c.i. engine. I would like to increase the idle speed--a rebuilt Rochester carb. is in use. Can someone offer tech. tips to do this? Thanks!

On the drivers side of the carb towards the bottom is the idle speed adjusment screw. It is on the linkage. turn it CW to increase rpm and CCW to decrease rpm.
You want to set your idle between 450 & 500 rpm.
Good luck

Yes. All carbs have an idle speed screw, although the location may vary.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

One must always ask/phrase the question correctly; my question must have read like a real dolt! I do understand the idle speed adjustment screw on a carb. As I am not familiar with the Carter carb., I thought this posting might help those with a Carter carb. as well.  Thanks again for all the good info.
