  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    A good added reference is the Rochester manual. You can usually find them in your library.

    Both Haynes and HPBooks have very good Rochester carb manuals. The Haynes "Rochester Carburetor Manual" (p/n 2068) is better for your application because it has specific sections on overhauling and adjusting the different Rochester models (including 2-barrel 2G models). The HPBooks "Rochester Carburetors" is primarily devoted to the Quadrajet.

    I've rebuilt the Rochester 2GV on my '68 Buick. The instructions with the kit consist of an exploded diagram and some terse paragraphs. Easy enough if you've been there before. The Haynes book has lots of nice photographs detailing each step. Between the two you should have no problems.

    Just crack it open and go to work, Cody:grin:

    The carbs are fairly simple. All you have to do is pay attention to where the little parts fall out from when you turn it upside down:Dou:


    Seriously, it's not bad. I did my first carb rebuild when I was 16. It was on a 71 2bbl carb.
