When I get to work tomorrow I am going to print this thread (my home printer took a dump). This is really good info. I bought a bunch of small based Rochesters over time on Ebay and am going to use one set on the Olds in my '39 and now I can do a set for the T. I didn't know what the procedure was to modify them, so I was either going to buy the base kits from Speedway (expensive) or just screw in the idle screws on the end carbs. Like you said in your thread, that isn't the best solution though.

This info will really help a lot of guys, especially with the popularity of multiple carbs coming back as strong as it has. You can still pick up these carbs cheap (I paid between $ 15.00 and $25.00 each) so a guy can put a tripower set together pretty reasonably.

For economics I am going to buy one of the Eastwood kits (I think I will) to dye the carbs. I would like to send the carbs to the place my Son sent his, but they charge $ 450.00 for the 3 to rebuild them and dye them. Not a bad deal when you think about it, but it doesn't fit my budget goals on the T.


Mike, thanks again for this very good information.
