Re: 1970 C20- 350 Carb Rebuild

What kind of carb?

Most are fairly easy to rebuild, but some have gotchas and things to look out for that may not be covered in a rebuild kit. Some, like Q-Jet, I'd rather not do myself, I don't feel I have the right touch for those. Depending on your skill level and quality of the kit, it's hard to tell you what to expect. Last time I rebuilt a carb, it went surprisingly well and it was rewarding hearing that 55 year old engine start up and run like new. Still starts on the second crank to this day, even after sitting for 6 months. Not all carbs are the same. Some carbs take more patience to rebuild, some take more patience to tune after the fact. Some carbs can get plain worn out or damaged and become difficult to rebuild. Tell us what kind you have.
