Hi Robert, Since I also recently purchased a rebuilt rochester carb from CD, maybe its appropriate to list my experience as well. I currently...
Nate is right on about valve adjustment. My truck seemed to run fine when I bought it, but when I checked the valves they were all way too tight....
What a nice job! Its also helpful to see various stages of assembly as there are no other truck around here that I can look at to see "what it's...
Thanks Bill, that confirms my suspicion that it wasn't the stock axle. Wouldn't you know the only 50's chevy pickup in a junkyard around here has...

Hi Nate, Although you can't see it in the picture, there is a Fram G-2 fuel filter in the fuel line. I've replaced it twice now since last...

Thanks for the details Nate, I'll take the carb off and check the float (may not get to it until next weekend). The rochester carb has always...
