1968 chevy 327 carb
Does anyone know where i can get a carb for my '68 c50? The thing is that it has to have the vaccum powered governer on it and no one seems to have one.

Re: 1968 chevy 327 carb
Do you have to have a governor?
Reason I ask is I have a 427 T.D.It had a huge Holley 4-barrel on it(with the governor under it) and leaked really bad.I just put a quadra-jet on it and it's running.But it's not in a big truck. Mike.

I don't know much about needing the governer. I cut the line off of mine to see if it would run and it did but at a high idle and my dad said that doing that i would have a very high chance of burning a valve. Do you still have the 4bbl carb that you took off?

Yes,I do,but mine is a 427 engine and it won't run very well on your's even after a rebuild.I put a Holley back on mine(not a quadra-jet like I said above).It just sits on the floor in the shop when I run it.
Does your distributor have a vacuum advance?Mine doesn't.You may have to put one on it to make it run right without the governor. Mike.

Just an idea.
