Ron,
Probably. My opinion on the Rochester is that it has a finite life. At some
point the bore on the power piston wears and the power valve stays on
causing an over rich condition. The fix is to rebuild it and sleeve the bore
on the culinder (In the air horn). I think there is a place that does this
as it is similar to many Rochester 2 bbls. My favorite is the
carter/edelbrock if you need a carb as it is easily tuned with the strip kit
for your application and state of tune. I must say, though, I am more for
port fuel injection with some stand alone EMS.
