Anybody recarb their 235 (single carb) ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've seen some posts on the HAMB and also Stovebolts but wonder if anyone here has swapped out the original for something else.
Langdon has a heck of a deal going on a Weber type Carter carb with adaptor
for 100 $
Those Webers are on all sorts of 4 cylinders so I can't imagine it being over carbed. But running a 2bbl into a 1bbl log type manifold cant be the best approach.

Anybody done it or seen it ?

I have 3 of the Webers on my GMC. Its a 320 ci six and they are great. They are economical and great performers. Jay

This won't help much. But as soon as my split exhaust manifold gets here, I'll be running 2x1bbl. Rochesters (progressive) on an offy intake.

That is cool ! Something about 2 or 3 carbs on a L6 just looks right.
Unfortunatly just one for me right now. I just got a call back from Langdon and he said to use the Holley/Weber for my application.
So I ordered it up 75 $ plus adaptor and shipping.
I'll post on it as it happens.

The same ones that you are looking at. no pics on the 'puter. It is a 320 ci jimmy with a lumpy cam and a ported head. Jay

I was all exicted yesterday when I got home when I saw a package on the doorstep. But it was a replacement globe for the ceiling fan light that I still have to install.

New carb due in tomorrow. Can't wait !

You weren't kidding about the funnel ram!

Don't use the pampers box gaskets. Look at what I have for your wall.

Will there be a burnout video tonight?

Hmmm. I'm intrigued... Wonder if the same setup would be an upgrade to replace the single Rochester on my GMC 270. What are your plans for the water choke? Do you block it or somehow plumb it in?
