Rochester Monojet Question

Hey All,

I was cruising down the road today when I hit the gas and the truck went haywire. I had to limp home after having to keep my foot on the gas to keep her running. It acted like a vacuum leak.

Upon inspection, it looks like the screw that attaches the carb to the throttle body backed out and she's gone.

Does anyone know the size of it? I figured it would be a quick trip to the hardware store if I knew the size. I've been searching to no avail online for any indicator of my question.

Thanks,

72 GMC C15 250 inline

Screw!
Exactly what screw?
Vent screw? Mixture screw? Bowl screw?

That's probably a #12-24 screw. It's a little surprising that it could fall out and disappear. You may not be able to find a screw with that style head at the local BORG, but maybe.

Re: Rochester Monojet Question

There should be two of them. Check the other one for dimensions.
