    I'm wondering if this is a Rochester Model B or what model it is? I took it off of a 1951 216 Chevy motor. I need to find a mate for it, if it is a 216 carb. Not really sure how I would Know if it is or not.

    It is a B. the 216 base is a little narrower than the 235, can't recall the exact measurements. I have several already rebuilt that I can put which ever base you need on. $75

    I think that's a BC with the automatic choke removed.

    BC's had different linkage running up the side...it's a B


    BTW, do you always put your carbs on the stove?

    Didn't think Bs has the automatic choke mounting base on the air horn.
    Bs have the inlet on the other side from the linkage.
