In need of carburator help
Hello All,
Well today I was working on the ol 68 looking/chasing down a vacuum leak. Well I found it. Looks like the rochester monojet model 7029014 has a crack/broke base ear! 😱. Anybody know a good place to pick up one with those numbers? All I seem to find locally at the auto parts stores are remanufactured one that are crossed over to some other manfactures number. I would prefer to stay with the original style rochester if possible.

Re: In need of carburator help
There are Rochester Monojets on eBay as low as $9.99 (and as high as $120 new), so why not buy one that looks identical and swap out the base?
What's the difference between a reman and original base? Or is it important for your purposes that the number visually match too?

Re: In need of carburator help
Most carburetor rebuilding shops should be able to sell you a new throttle plate.

Re: In need of carburator help
Yea, I'm go to the local junk yard this week and see if I can find a throttle base. Hopefully I'll get lucky. If not I'm buy one somewhere that's period correct if I can find one.
Wish me luck.

Re: In need of carburator help
I took the old one with me today to 3 junk yards. No luck even finding a 1 bbl Rochester. They were all taken off already.
Just my luck.

I would not have any idea if the butterfly plate in the baseplate would be the same size. I'd think someone on the forum would have one for sale? |
