Alright, I have no clue what type of Carb i got on my car (im assuming its a stock carb, i got a few pics of it, and here they are



And from another angle



and another



while everybody is looking at this, ive played around with adjusting the idle, and it seems it will either be to high an idle (and not shut off on me) or to low and die on me... Anybody got a clue as in why this is going on?

 

what you have there is a rochester vera-jet 2-bbl. Its like you cut a Q-jet in half from front to back. Im my experience with that carb I would almost always replace it with a weber or a holley 2-bbl. The idea of a vera-jet is was never performance but nether was a 2.8, but you will see a performance increase in the weber or the holley.

 

Alright thanks for the prompt reply, im gonna end up replaceing the engine with a V8 (if i dotn find a good running third gen camaro soon that has a v8 in it, and use this car for as much parts as i can)

 

Technical name: Rochester E2SE.

 

Thanks!

 

If you really want to wake that 2.8 up go to an Edelbrock 3785 base and 3789 top and a Holley 8007 390 CFM 4 barrel. You will never get that Rochester Vera-jet to work right. I had one on a 305 and it was not working right when I got rid of the car.

 

Right now, im just trying to get this car to run better than when i got it , its accaualy running like its almost new, it just needs a new carb now
