I just purchased a new 1BBL BV series Rochester with the 30.9mm Venturi Manual choke and 167 cfm body. It has a 52 jet in it. I've read and printed out TeriAnn Wakemans info. Thank you TeriAnn!!!!!!!!!! I took me a LONG LONG while but I finally got the courage to attempt to change my weber to this set up. The carb came from British Pacific originally and was carried as spare by a fella in California, It has not had fuel through it yet.

Anyhow, I need to understand the linkages! I'd like to mount it on the manifol and not use that 180 block that the weber sits on. I understand that I have to add on a longer arm so that the rover linkage can pull the BV linkage rather than push it.

Please can someone post pictures of their Rochester carburetor installed on thier Rig, so I can get ideas on that linkage. If I retain the 180 degree turn block for the weber, I believe the whole thing is going to sit too high but it seems the linkages could be easier to set up but I believe the top is going to foul my bonnet. I have the deluxe bonnet. My idea is to mount it close to the manifold like the old Solex, but I hope linkages wont foul the manifold or the manifold bolts.

Please post pictures - any help is appreciated!!!!! Especially detail shots of linkages. Right now I have a nice running rover with the weber and love driving it. Before I change things, I want to make sure I'm not without my rover in the middle of a science experiment!

Also any pictures of vacuum fittings and fuel inlet fittings would be super. Thank You again TeriAnn! Its your info on your website that really helped me. I've owned my Rover for 30 years and my Dad bought it new. It came with a Solex. I converted to a Weber back in 1991 and have gone through 3 webers since. I tried Zenith but had no luck with it running well. Probably due to the warpage issue. But I've always wanted to at least give the Rochester a go.


Thanks
