Thread: What type of rochester carb to use

Tweet

Im placing a Offenhauser duel intake on my plymouth flat 6 and I wanted to know which rochester carbs to use. If you know the serial number that would be even better.

I have two carter carbs, but I was thinking to rochesters would be better.

appreciate any info and insight on this matter. Thanks

single barrel or two barrel??

single barrel

I could be wrong, but I think you are kind of limited to the Carters, at least that is all I have ever seen used on these one barrel applications. Someone who knows better may post differently, though.

I always liked Vacu-jet Rochesters on flathead sixes. Any '50's 235 carb works if you oval the holes a bit. Be sure to use the Rochester base gasket, it has notches in it that line up with holes in the base.
