Unofficial Rochester Carburetors Web Site

Rochester Carburetors are (variously) the products of Rochester Products Division, General Motors and Magnetti Marelli (Weber U.S.A.).

For years Rochester carburetors have earned a reputation for reliability and durability. However, EFI has rendered carburetion obsolete (from an OEM point of veiw).

Lets face it; you are here because there just ain't no information, technical or otherwise on the internet about any Rochester carburetors.
Karl has decided to create such a place.
Anyone who believes they need any information about Rochester carburetors should invest in the Doug Roe book "Rochester Carburetors" from HP Books!! A valuable resource.

Some data found on these "pages" may be inaccurate. Neither Karl, Rochester Product Division,
Magnetti Marelli, Weber USA,or GM are liable for any damages resulting from any use or misuse
of any information found on this website.
Consider yourselves warned.

This is the 2-Jet in Karl's 1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. Karl rebuilt it and could have done a better job the first time. That is a large part of the motivation for this site!


Air horn mutilation due to previous owner.
Inlet fitting and fuel line by Karl's hand.

Still March 2000


March 2000?????
Holy Cow, Karl really needs to improve this site!
Sorry if Karl dint answer your Email yet, Karl has quite a lot to do.
Every fair question gets an answer, eventually.......

Just to make it look like Karl's been working hard on this site, he put some
cutie-pie code on here to give ya a BOSS Mustang cursor.
Something for ya to play with until karl really updates this thing.

A mini-FAQ is here now.
In the same sprit with which the Qjet disassembly pix went up, the FAQ will be started
with a "choke"/"idle" section based on a recent carb question that was answered quite thoroughly.
