Rochester carburetor rebuild service recommendations

1971 C-10 402

It runs like a top, but it hasn't been rebuilt in a long while. Considering the rest of the truck will be mostly restored, I figure a fresh carb. is in order. It no longer has a choke. I believe it had a divorced choke, and I may be missing some linkage as well. Hopefully the service can set me up with everything needed for the choke as well.

On a side note, as a learning experience - I needed a carb. for my beater because the Rochester in that didn't have a choke either. Not having replaced a carb. before, and because I "chose" to learn how on my "good truck", I paid to have an Edlebrock installed. It runs like a top and probably gets better gas mileage, but I did lose some guts. Apparently as "standard" replacement carbs. go, Edlebrook is practical, while Holley offers power. Had I known that, I may have run with a Holley. It's a driver, but I do miss the power.

Thanks for any input/recommendations
