Any idea were to get  the carb kit for my 60 eldorado three carb set up rochesters ?looking for the complete set for all three thanx.

Don't buy NOS or anything older than a couple of years old.  I had my center carb rebuilt 2 years ago and brought a kit to the rebuilder with the carb thinking it would be a plus.  He told me that older kits have gaskets that would be eaten up by modern fuel.

Kits are still available new for these and I would go that route.

im missing the front tag on the carb I didnt look to see if the other two are matching numbers what do you think are they all the same numbers ?  by the way in my small town there is a gas station thats ethanol free extra money who cares no corn.

D.Yaros

I wquld be more than surprised of all 3 carbs were matching.  Perhaps the front and rear match, but the center might be different.

Give Daytona Parts Co. a call.  It can definitively answer your question.

The Rochester tri-pack would be the 2G and 2GC type, 1960 carb numbers are listed in the attached file.

Good luck..!

The center carb is totally different.  The outboard carbs do not have adjustments for idle/air, etc.  They are either full open or closed as the linkage moves to the open position on full throttle when vacuum is directed to the secondary diaphragm via the vacuum switch mounted on the center carb and activated by depression of the throttle linkage.

My 9th grade English teacher would have hated that sentence.

I stopped by Daytona Carb while at the Grand National last year.  Bought a complete rebuild kit for my 58 tripower, even bought a spare float, just in case.  Your fore and aft carbs are the bigger than the 58, but I'm sure they will know right away what you need.  They have their own supply base for material and it is first rate.

For a few dollars more,(lots), they can rebuild them to be perfect.
