My Blitz's

[Bob Carriere]

I would trust "CarbKing" as he has been in the business for a long time.

The W-1 is not a bad carburator and it is the original for the 216....... it might not have sufficient CFM for a high reving 235 or 261 but would still run the engine quite well.

I ran a totally rebuilt Rochester "B" and it ran well........ I changed because of th tendency to flow raw gasoline off the top of the carburator at anything over 25 to 30 degrees of hill climb........ apparently the W -1 did not have that nasty habit...... the Rochester B was after all intended for civilian application. For ther ecord my Roch. B did not leak form the top casket cover but leaked from some undetected factory vent hole..... which is part of its design.

I am now running a Carter YF which is flawless ( suggested by Carb King) and do intend to try on a rebuilt Zenith 28 228 formerly used on the GMC 270 cu. in C60x engine.
