You may be experiencing vapor lock when its gets hot and wont restart. Try a phenolic spacer between the carburetor and intake, to insulate it from the heat.
I put the thickest gasket under the carb that I could. The problem is, the studs look like they are permanent in the manifold and they are too short for anything thicker than the gasket.
@@tacticaljeep94 Those studs screw in, but they're probably in there pretty good at this point in time. You'd likely need a little heat to break 'em loose at this point.
Carbs tricky, send it out to get rebuilt and reinstall yourself. That Rochester (worth keeping) is a 220 CFM carb and the YT is in the 190's. Makes a difference to the "breathing" you're talking about.
Just bought a 1966 custom. Am going to follow this video and replace the Rochester with the Carter. Can you make a video on the shift linkage for the 3 on the tree? How it works? How it’s set up? It was not a smooth shifter and the guy I bought it from said it always jammed. Thanks for the video.
Loved the video. I'm struggling with the same thing on a 64 bel air. I just wanted to know if the tomco is still holding up now that its been on there for a while. If so I think I'm going to pick one up.
My 1960 235 has the same bog if you really stab the throttle at idle. I've always figured it was the accelerator pump even though we put a rebuild kit in it. Your rebuilt carb does the same thing so I guess that's just how they were.
In South Africa that engin was in a car. The chev Kommando. Basically a Holden Kingswood with the Chev engine. Many upgraded to Carter. Some even pur Webers on. Crap carb that Rochester.
I'm putting in a 2 barrel holley with an adapter plate. I have a Rochester monojet in it. Needs rebuilt but I'd rather up the cfm and have an electric choke. Oh I have a 65 chevy sportvan.
Shrifter, I replace my Rochester with the Carter yf but my idle is through the roof. I feel like the throttle plate isn’t starting off closed or almost closed Even sitting side by side on my work bench you can tell the yf I throttle link is more open than the Rochester. Did you have to do some reworking of the linkage ?
Help!! Lol. On the back side facing the fire wall. There is an opening on the body of the carb. It sticks out. Right near the linkage connection. Is that a vacuum hole or ? Thanks for the video.
Recently got a new carb for my '69 C-10 w/250 six, with electric choke. That choke is causing issues. (or it could be resolved and that there is an ignition issue). In 2021, '60s vehicles are now often D.I.Y.
You think yous is hard to get someone to work on I have a 65 chevy sportvan. They never even made replacement parts. Like I need to do some brake work if I go to the auto part store I tell them I have a chevy II.
5:48 what was that spark that looked like it jumped from the motor mount to the frame? Look directly behind the alternator. Also cool swap but that single reservoir master cylinder has got to go. One leak anywhere and oops you have zero braking 😱
Did u notice something in the 5min and 30 seconds line under the carburetor? There was a spark going from the manifold to the motor mount? Check it out.
I put a Carter YF on my '59 Biscayne several years ago and it's a 1000 times better than that Rochester piece of junk. The problem I had with the Rochester is that the air horn warped and leaked like a sieve around the float. There isn't any screws to cinch it down to keep it from warping. My YF is 3211s which has the automatic spring choke.
Wow, I'm dealing with the same problem, and even bought a rebuilt Rochester, and still having problems. What model number is take carb? I'm going carter next
On the side by side you said you’d screw vacuum advance in and cap the lower metal tube. In the video it looks like you did the opposite. I followed what you said on the side by side
That is true, heck all vehicles back then had “cold natured” starting. It was nothing go out on a cold morning and get the oil running, water warmed up, all before going to work.
@@tacticaljeep94 thanks I'm in the process of putting a 250 6 and a Jeep Wrangler with a 700 R4 Transmission 208 Transfer Case, if we would have had UA-cam back in the 80s I would be dangerous😂

Its a really simple setup. It pulls air from the cowl and draws through the heater core and then through the heater box under the dash. There is a selector lever that either pushes air out to your legs or up to the windshield

Does not look like a Rochester monojet. Looks like a carter. The one currently on my van is bigger and it says on the float bowl Rochester monojet and GM
I hope that isn't permanent... May as well just take it off for the good it does. If you've been running that air filter with the other carb you replaced perhaps IT might the problem?
Good video. Glad to see that you are keeping it stock.
Cool truck
I have many memories of dad an I in grandpas 66
His dome light was broken just like yours Thanks for sharing
Thanks for posting! Think I will do the same after rebuilding the rochester and still having issues.

Awesome Thank you,
Hi cool, I used 2 of those 3" filters on mine..

Man i digg straight sixes of any brand chevy ford or dodge
Can you give me details about the PCV valve you have running that’s super clean! Much nicer than my piece of gas tubing.

The original Rochester is a bigger carb and would help with that issue. Get it rebuilt and put it back on. 235/261's depending on the year.

With your brakes. Replace the return spring. If I had to guess. The spring is week and at one time just layed on the switch and caused some issues.
I think there are several types of carter yf carbs. Not sure though. Do you have the o’rilleys part number so I can cross reference it? Thanks.
What rear-end are you running with that three speed? Also do you take it on the highway and if so how does it handle the speed?

Do you happen to know the part number in the carb ? Need to get one for my engine but having lots of trouble finding it.

Does your radiator get hot without a fan shroud?

Maggs, I have no idea. Watched it a few times, my guess is it's just an oddity in our already odd universe 😂

Never mind about the vacuum connection. I had to screen shot your video to zoom in.

I got a new carb for my 68 chevelle and did not work properly either!, of course “ Chinese made “!, junk
What kind of air cleaner do you have on there?
Its a mr gasket brand that I got from o'rielys
On the side by side you said you’d screw vacuum advance in and cap the lower metal tube. In the video it looks like you did the opposite. I followed what you said on the side by side
What kind of alternator bracket do you have
I would like to know exactly what carburetor you got... Everything I have found says Carter yf does not fit, just for Ford... Is it the same carb?
My question is would it be reliable like say when its cold outside?
It's been down to freezing lately, still runs great. Usually just need to pull the choke all the way out to start and let it warm up for a few mins.
That is true, heck all vehicles back then had “cold natured” starting. It was nothing go out on a cold morning and get the oil running, water warmed up, all before going to work.
Can I get the part number for O'Reilly's from you or do I just ask for YF carburetor manual choke?
Pretty sure its part 1-171. Brand looks to be tomco. UPC: # 17239001289

It will run better with a larger air cleaner. I have bought 2 vehicles with those little air cleaners and added a second filter, and both ran better.
What intake manifold are you running
Thats the stock manifold

Any issues with accelerator linkage
Nope. Works perfectly
Where did you purchase the carb from? Can you send the link

How does your heater work? Mine works but how does it recirculate air
Its a really simple setup. It pulls air from the cowl and draws through the heater core and then through the heater box under the dash. There is a selector lever that either pushes air out to your legs or up to the windshield
Yes I know that but, you are saying it pull freezing cold air from the outside
@@RDGlovers65chevy yeah pulls outside air. The heater works really well though. I measured 160 degrees at the outlet in the dash
I have noticed some have a blend door not inside but right above the heater core with a cable that run inside
@@RDGlovers65chevy The Ronco valve.
Its inside the heater box.
What was price range
Just a descent air filter!

Rochester is rubbish. Carter is a upgrade!
