Man, went to oreily to price a 6cy 1bbl rochester, pull choke and was shocked. a few years ago this thing was under $100 and now its at $180? Napa doesnt even carry them anymore. Since my truck was in a flood I dont think it will make a good core. Holy toledos batman,

This is why I rebuilt mine(1bbl roch)instead of buying a new one. 12 dollor kit at advance.

$180 doesnt sound too bad to me, but Ive never had to buy one either... Not compared to the stromberg 97s Id like to get. But I want 6 of them. I always liked the multiple carb setups.
