I have a '63 I6 194, auto xsm, with a Rochester BV single barrel carb. I can not get rid of the bog, hesitation or stumble on acceleration. Once going, the car runs great. After researching past post on similar issues, the possible causes are defective advance mechanism, accelerator pump or incorrect idle adjustment.After replacing the advance and accelerator pump and two rebuilds, I've come to the conclusion that the carb is just plain worn out.
There are a couple of post that suggest changing to a Rochester 2GC, small base, pre-seventies carb and using a base adapter. Can anyone provide any specific info such as:
1. Specific year or make of chevy that used a Rochester 2GC small base carb.
2.Where to get the carb and the base adapter.
3. Will I have to change the current ridgid mechanical throttle linkage to something different ie. cable
The folks at Advance don't even have a listing for any 63 carbs - too old and Napa is out of the carb business except for rebuild kits.
Any help, advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
