Oh yeah ~ I've touched one or two of those Rochester series 'B' carbys
They're dead simple , just be gentle with it ~ they don't like much torque on
the four cover screws ~ expect some weeping of fuel 'round the gasket joint ,
DO NOT over tighten those screws else you'll ruin it beyond repair .
Just takes buying a rebuild kit. Instructions are in there, or you can
google inatructions on the internet. Keep an eye open for marks of rough
handling during previous rebuilds. If I had a questionable carb, I'd just
buy a rebuilt one at a Local Auto Parts stores; hold onto the core until
you're s
I rebuilt my Rochester single barrel with a rebuild kit and advice from the
guys here. I was sure it was going to be way over my head and it was pretty
simple. If I can do it, you can...my car expertise can be summarized as "too
stupid to know better." You can do it! Good luck!

Thanks Nate,
I'll keep that in mind after i get it fired up. Took the carb off this
afternoon and got it soaking. You ever rebuilt an old one barrel? If so, is
there much to it?

Yay ! .
Remember : it'll prolly smoke a lot for a while , just run it and tune it ,
expect to do several valve adjustments before they stay adjusted as the old
carbon chips away .
Several HOT oil changes too , using thin Dino based oils until it either stops
smoking or you decide to re ring i
I don't know the specifics but I've seen several Hot Rods with 60/40 seats ,
best bet is to carefully measure then take your tape measure to the junkyard
and see what's what .
You can also ask the others with AD trucks at your local Show and Shine
events
