Wasn't the first American made production automobile available with

And the 1957 Fuelie BelAir



The Rochester unit works pretty well but it takes a very specific

procedure to adjust it. Then you hope it stays adjusted for a while.

One of the reasons why many were replaced with carbs was due to the

finicky adjustments needed.

The rochester was great for places like arizona where the weather is

not changeable and there are not too many trees. Here in Ontario you

had to re-tune them with every (hourly) change in the weather, or if

the road was shaded with trees



I had far better luck with Rottenchesters in LoCal than I did with

Holleys



We are not talking about rochester carburetors - we are talking about

Rochester Fuel Injection, as used on the '57 Corvette and BelAir 283.



My bad.





That said, Holley carbs always (or at least OFTEN) had issues with

leaks between the metering block and the throttle body, often due to

warped metering blocks - worse in hot climates but common enough up

here in Ontario,



Right. And if it wasn't a leak, it was a plugged orifice. There was

no way to properly boil out a Holley metering block. I bought a

special air blower with a rubber tip to make sure all the carb dip was

blown out of the tiny orifices in Holleys, and even then, it was an

iffy rebuild. I hate Holleys for that.

Larry Jackass hates Holly Carburetors because he's a moron with no clues.

There is a reason they make after market metering blocks for Holly carburetors. Larry Jackass like to brag that he went to UTI. They don't cover a lot at very important stuff at UTI. You are expected to learn on your own after they teach you the very basics.

Over and over Larry Jackass shows us why he's such a failure in life. It's because he, like most Mark Wieber clique of idiot members, can't think for himself and learn on his own. I have had very good results with Holly carburetors in the past. These are the metering blocks I used:
