Strange thing about the Rochester....while leaking at that funny angle the engine never missed a beat amd kept running at the same RPM..... I would have expected it to flood or starve....

Bob..They are similar to the ones on the Volvo's you have sitting in your back fourty..
I used to repair..clean and tune my dads '63 Volvo wagon when I was just home on leave from the Air Force..
Leaned about them from an old Dutchman that was the only resident expert on them for Volvo's in Halifax in the early '60's..
Here is the carb we are taking about(Not exactly like the Volvo ,but similar,,.)
