John,
Here are a few that I located based on early Rochester service bulletins found here along with just about everything you ever wanted to know about Rochester carbs prior to 1960.

http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/carb/Rochester/index.htm

I suspect many of the others are later and I'm still looking for a good searchable reference for those.

:

 

[PAINTJOHN1]

Brian,Cecil,Thanks.I owe you each a beer at Thompson. John

 

[DonSSDD]

The carburetor Shop has kits listed, if you look you would have to do a lot of searching using "Edit Find" to find them all though.

Don

 

[Phil Reed]

Brian,Cecil,Thanks.I owe you each a beer at Thompson. John

John..........I just learned that unfortunately Cecil and Brain will not be able to attend..............both said that I could have their beers!!!!!!!!!!

 

[58 Apache]

Still no ride

I thought you was trying to get a ride in a race car don't tell me you can drink beer and drive a Car at the Drag Stripe

 

[PAINTJOHN1]

Phil,not a problem,well if they do come(which I think they will)I think I can squeeze another beer out of my worn out almost empty wallet.Rather spend the money on some car buddy friends than give it to our new tax and spend government. John

 

[Phil Reed]

Derry:
I basically quit the drinking about 22 years ago. But it's not as sexy to say "bring me a diet caffeiene Pepsi"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But..................in the day.............I held my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John: Save your old worn out wallet for Dick's next trip to KC. He said you were coming with him!!!!

 

[PAINTJOHN1]

Absolutely will come on the next trip,and I'll have a diet Pepsi with you.Not a big drinker myself,but on vacation I'll toss back a few..Dick and Joann went on the cruise over the winter with my friend Skip(painthelper 2 ) his wife Barb,myself and my wife Andrea,and also a few of Dick's close friends.During the cruise he often talked about was what a great time he had out there with you guys,and how well he was treated.The trip didn't work out with the 63' he looked at,but eventually it opened the door and really worked out with Russ's car.We had quite a few conversations about Russ's car on the cruise.He was really excited about that,I'm glad Russ and him were able to get that deal to work out.I'm really happy for him,he's a great guy,and a really happy guy especially when you get him going on those Rum Punch drinks on the "Bones Pirate Ship Excursion"down in St Thomas.See the picture below,Dick,Myself)paintjohn1),and Skip(painthelper 2) just behind us. This was Feb 4th,2010,it was 87 degrees,back in Md. poor Robert was about to get the makings of 30" of snow,not 1 storm but two back to backers 30".Yep sixty inches in a week,more snow than we saw in the last 10 years combined. Next cruise you and your wife should join us guys. John

Derry,no we're talking having a beer at dinner or back at the hotels.Some of the guys hang out on the parking lots to 3 in the morning,talking cars,mechanics,garages,traliers and of course "409's",and drinking a few beers. No drinking on the track,no drinking when driving. John

Dang Robert,That picture is worth a thousand words!!!! Good thing nobody came down your road looking for a turnaround!!! John

 

[PAINTJOHN1]

I'll let John answer this one!

WELLLL,I had a swimmy,Skip had a swimmy,but we just pooped out faster than Dick.He was busy checking out all the turtles in Turtle Bay,and had a little more endurance than us.Besides that the rum punch was waiting!!!!! . It was pretty darn awesome. We did have a great time,even though for 20 hours we had huge seas and major wind!!! If any you car guys like boat cruises and end up at St.Thomas,do yourself a favorite and do the Bones Pirate Schooner Excursion at Christmas Island.A full 6 hours of non-stop fun!!! John
