Thanks. It should be rested. Before I breathed new life into it, it spent the last 50 years in the corner of a barn.

Whats the deal with the rochester two barrell carb? Do you run a adapter to make it fit the intake. The rochester 2 G is a great little carb .
Just curious would like to run one on a project here at the shop.

Looks and sounds great. My only comment is the slow idling, of a new engine, can have a VERY negative impact.

[Henry/Kokomo]

Looks like a Canadian (aluminum) intake off an 8CM or the Canadian equivalent thereof. The 2GC will bolt up on a Merc manifold but you need to open up, or at least taper, the riser passages in the manifold. I notices he has a PCV setup as well.

Love it, Now shut the darn thing off befor you ruin it.

[Ronnie]

"Classic" now shut it off save it for driving in the car.

The small base 2GC bolts right up to the '49 and newer Merc intake. You'll need to deal with the differences in crankcase venting between the early and late engines. I installed a PCV system.

Wish it was aluminum! Actually, it's a cast iron manifold painted with cast aluminum finish engine paint. Sort of breaks up the single lump appearance of a one color engine.

Ron, I know your position on running them with no load on an engine stand, so I jammed a piece of 2X4 between the flywheel and the housing to add some drag! Don't worry, it'll be going in my '29 roadster pickup soon I hope.

Don't forget to remove 2x4 "LOL"
