The zenith 361v is well, best left for a wheel chock, I'm concidering the rochester carb and have found that the one suggested is for a chevy 216 engine from 1949-53, now that engine is a six cylinder, is this the correct carb? or is there a better way to go? Peter. | ||

i ran a rochester carb on my series three for years. but however i am not sure what model number it is? i did how ever find a great improvement in horse power. i sugest that you get it rebuilt at a place like mister carburator befor you install it . | ||

Bayou Jim has a section on his web Site about Rottenchesters: http://www.bayourovers.com/trick1.html Lots of other good info too! | ||

Just a consideration. If your vehicle needs to be emissions tested (as it does in AZ from 1968 and newer) the Rochester may not be the carb for you. It doesnt do well with emissions because it is relatively unadjustable, and has a tendency to let more fuel in. (thus the power increase) Check with Rovers North or British Pacific for some good information and prices. Jess | ||

I found the Webber carb on my 2.25 to be brilliant, and it only cost about �35. These people are aparently quite good with finding the right carb. www.carburetters.co.uk | ||

The single barrel webers tend to run lean, thus burning valves. I would run a single weber on the rich side. |
