Was there anything else back then??:D

Powerglides. Robert "Hutch" Hutchison was one of the first I remember making one fast in Div 4.
Personally, I broke a lot of 3 speeds in my '56 around that time. Took me a while to get my head out, and soften up the clutch.

Anyone have an opinion on whether to use the power valve in these or block it off. I have a Deano carb and it is blocked off, haven't tried to 'restore' it to a power valve setup.

Mike, How high are you foot braking it?

Re: Rochester 2GC info
 

Bad air 3000, good air 3500. By the way, just installed Kenny's converter today. With the old converter, 3500 was really wanting to push the brakes. Car was .04-.06 slower at 2500.

Mike, you'll go nut's trying to use a pv in a roch. 2gc carb as they had so many deravations of the pvrc they used.. Plug it, retap the jetting holes and use the holley jetting, better selection and easily obtainable. Tip:, now your ready to begin playing with the fuel curve !!!!!!! (assuming you have a good wide band data logger).

Re: Rochester 2GC info
 

I don't think you need to worry about a power valve then.
As long as it drives around the pits okay...

Re: Rochester 2GC info
 

No issue in the pits. Thanks. Will know this weekend if the converter helps- it should be a little looser.

Re: Rochester 2GC info
 

We used to do that to the old 4GCs. We were told then that we could not remove & plug it. Many of us pulled the piston/spring, pushed the piston up, and put a ding in the rod with a pair of dykes so it could not extend again, and jetted up. Easy to find Rochester jets back then.

Found a good source of 2GC part including jets-Mike's Carburetor Parts. Has everything for 2GC's.
