    Anyone know about replacing the carb on a 65 shorty? Is Rochester the original brand? Single or double?

    Any help much appreciated. Just bought this yesterday sight unseen and I know nothing about cars only that I'm in love with one...

    The Earlys,,,,,,,1964 to 70, 4 and 6 cylinders came with 3 models of carbs, 1 barrels,,,,,,,,,,,,your 65 came with a Carter YF,,,,,,,most had manual chokes,,,,,,if you got that blue plate to the left of the clutch pedal,,,,,,chances are pretty good it says this van comes with the 153 cu in 4 cylinder or the 230 cu in 6 cylinder........

    With enough ingenuity, any style fuel delivery device can be made to work on these engines. Even fuel injection.
