Ok, stupid question here. I've got a '55 2nd series with the 235 and three on the tree. In the shop manual it says all manual tranny 1/2 tons have a GM Model "B" downdraft carb. In the parts store websites, they list carb kits for a Rochester B/C and a Carter YF. I want to assume the GM Model "B" downdraft is a Rochester. Is that correct?

Long story short, I want to rebuild the carb and want to get the right kit. Thanks for the help and thanks for this great forum.
