It appears that my carb is from a 75 Chevy; Dick Patterson says it won't work well on my '73, so I'm looking for a 7043254 Rochester; I've posted on the swap side also, but just in case someone missed it there, wanted to post here. Per Matt Collie, it may have had something to do with the demise of both of my head gaskets. I'm having the heads rebuilt now with new intake valves as some of the stems were blue,dinged up from heat or something. W/O starting new oil wars, my rebuilder says that Rotella (old) is not so good, due to the fact that the diesel detergents attack the ZDDP. He has recently atttended some oil seminars and found this out. He recommends Joe Gibb oil. I want a carb w/o the warped body, obviously. Any NOS out there?
