Yes.. Hello  I have a Question about the BC Rochester 1 bbl carb. I can take NO MORE.  This car is a Little heavy for a Single Carb.  Can I use an adaptor from a single  to a 2 BBL .... to a small 4 then a LARGE 4 BBL ?Then  end up with a Large Holley  4 barrel ?  I Don't want dual carb with fenton Dual manifold. I think I might be able to squeeze it. Maybe Not.   Anyone try this yet?. Any afforable Upgrade withOUT  going Fuel Injected ***  This Distributor single Points stuff!! has GOT TO GO!!!!TOO  Help

they will have just what you want with out adaptors..  

JUST curoius  I beleive I'm going to upgrade from the 1bar BC  Rochester  to  Holley . Anyone have a idea of the maximum CFM  for  a  chevy 235 .  Or  what would be recommended  Quadrojet?  Corvette..  Holley 4 bar 350 MCF ? 500  650  750  , 800  and please... Don't sy keep the 1 bar on .   This 62 chevy  4 door is getting 2 things,  a carb upgrade, and a super HOT Dist. That's it.  I like to keep things Original,   But this is all about the auto choke for 1962.   I could care less about a Heated choke.  I'm thinking Vette!!!  carb or 283 or  Even  409 carb ,on this Common 235 truck engine.  This can't be rocket science. Please help I just want to know  what  NOT to put on.  I  only have  4 things ,  Fuel , Auto choke , & throtle linkage, & vaccume advance.  That's it.   So I really don't need a  Carb with 30 inlets & outlets.  This is getting way out of hand when I'm looking at Motorcraft.. lol   Help    

Another option you could look at, keeping the straight six, upgrade to a later 60s 250 inline six and install a 4 bbl Q-Jet, or a Rochester 2GC. Get a little more torque to move your car.  

why not first get a carb off a 292 chevy/gmc truck/van. from the mid 77 to 1990....    those have lots of airflow...  and with a few tiny mods.. they bolt on..    just plug off the excess vacuum ports...

it is a rochester 1 bbl.. but they are far superior to the early units... called a 1ME as they have electric chokes..   the 77 to 79 passenger car versions from the integeral head 250s will also work... think camaro /nova's

check hood clearance first...  they are a little taller...  

Thanxz  guys,  that would be a 2 bbl  off the  292?  right .  Hi  Do you know of any Carbs that might take this  Rochester BC  Carb  Place  ?  Carter  C-1 ?     I want to get as far away as possible from this carb.   I'ts terrible On gas,  They  Leak ,  Burn  way   to rich.   Dosn't matter if it's new  Rebuilt,  or what ever.   I'm almost ready to put a VW  SOLEX on  1962 Chevrolet Bel air  235 CID   3.8L   Not 3.9L   I can't think of one chevy that carries a 235 cid  3.9L   What's that all about.?    These carbs leak at the throtle plate  and  that supposed to be normal.  wut...   in the front  & in back  I've tried grease.  That only last about a week.  Plus  No one can tell me the correct float level   1" 9/32 ???  How about tell me in plain english .   7/16 ?    13/4"     Float Drop ?    any ideas?  The only thing I can think of would be  upgrade to a 2 barrel  or  quadrojet  .  seriously any other carb   2 bbl   OR  even a 409 4 bbl    would get better mileage then  this  1950's  1 bbl.   Please help     all arrows point back to the  BC  No matter where I go or  what auto store.  They say The BC .  I'm done with that. All my  parts ,  floats ,  kits,  needle & seats,  and about  17 bc carbs all went in the garbage today ,  and my car sits without no   carb.   any other carbs?.  Really don't have alot of cash to  to put in a  new 350 motor.  or  fuel injection .   The car runs Great,  Tranny is fine   brakes are good.  I'm just sooo sooo  tired of that BC  I could put one together in my sleep  blind folded.  That's how many times  I've been under the hood.   Please help .   I'm almost ready to modify a FORD motorcraft or  EVEN   dodge  plymouth carbs  

I can remove this  BC  in about 5 minutes flat! and it's off .  

the 1ME carb is a one barrel that is mounted to a inline six...  they used them up through 1990 in trucks and vans...


there are a bunch of other carbs that will work.... stop by your local carb rebuilder...


they will have piles of them to sample from.........

oh... and at least put in a pertronics electronic ignition system... it might take you 5 minutes to install it...  works great...  it all fits in under the cap... my mom put one in her ford truck..  and she was 78 at the time...  shes 82 now.. shifting the manual trans... no power steering.. no power brakes...  she stays off the roof now... the big earthquake a few years back in eastern alaska went off while she was up doing roofing.. she did not like the ride...and she was just south of the canadian border..
