Re: 1969 Rochester 1bbl: Rebuild or Buy New

What do you guys think? I was thinking rebuilding a carb could be great for education purposes, but from watching YouTube videos, it looks like there’s quite a bit involved.

I already have the Standard Products rebuild kit in hand.

If I go the rebuild route, do you guys have any step by step references I can follow? How long should i expect this to take?

If I go new, any recommendations for sources to buy new? Thanks all

If you already have the rebuild kit id vote to rebuild it. I just like you question rebuilding vs the ebay shiney 1 barrel with electric choke. I kept the monojet on the shelf and purchased the ebay carb soley to have electric choke. Funny thing is so far i have left the keyed power off the electric choke and it starts idles and runs just fine.
