Re: Rochester 2GC info
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.

Re: Rochester 2GC info
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.

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.

Re: Rochester 2GC info
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.
