Rebuild Or Replace Carburetor - 02/18/23 04:22 AM
Hello All,
I am a new member on this forum, but will probably be a regular as I am doing a complete renovation on a 85 Chevy C10.
My question right now is, about the carburetor, should I rebuild, or replace?
Been looking at some of those Holly or Edelbrock units and am wondering what the general consensus is, Replace or Rebuild?
I know I have problems with the carburetor, I have to crank for quite a while before she will start, not running real smooth, and dying unexpectedly. Maybe just a cracked seal?
I am replacing the entire fuel system, new gas tanks, fuel lines, vapor lines, pump, etc.
The current carburetor is the original Rochester 4bbl. I would prefer not to spend 500 bucks on a new one, but I really want this old girl to run good when I finish this project.
Any help, suggestions or opinions are greatly appreciated.
