    thanks! someone said on bpg that the primaries were 43B, so any idea if they are 45B or 43B for sure?

    I got my info from the Steven Dove book "Guide to Buick GS 1965-1975" All the BB carbs have 45 rods, the 350 carbs use 43 rods. All have .070 jets.

    My info matches Larry's (although it should, I used the same book.)
    Larry--Yup. Leaving Sunday AM; should be pitted in my usual spot with Bryan from Maine.

    Larry,

    my 68 service manual says the 430 in a Riv should have BG secondary rods (.0397). A lot more rich than the AY rods. Do you know a reason why they have changed that much from 1968 to 1969?

    Regards

    Stefan

    Nope, don't know. Primary metering is richer also. Same jets(70) and 43 rods instead of the 45's in 1969.:Do No:
