Nazz Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone can help, The V6 in the Olds has a Rochester 1 barrel carb. I think the one from the 51 Chev kit will work but I can not find where the fuel line goes. If you have the answer that would be vey helpful. Thanks.

R. Thorne Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 A 1 barrel on a v6? Sure it isn’t a 2 barrel carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLMFAA1 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 If you can find the V6 'Dauntless' engine from the old MPC jeep kits you will find the carburetor for a V6. The were Buick V6's greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 10 hours ago, R. Thorne said: A 1 barrel on a v6? Sure it isn’t a 2 barrel carb? That was my first thought too. I’ve worked on a lot of old Buick v-6 engines with carburetors over the years and don’t remember seeing a 1 barrel on any of them. (Could be memory problems though) I have also experienced someone thinking a 2 barrel with the single round upper throat was a 1 barrel. However, I looked it up and Buick made a Fireball v-6 with a 1 barrel carburetor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazz Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Thanks guys for the help. As it has been a very long time , and I was just a kid, I can't remember many details anymore. I did find a pic of an intake manifold on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G. Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Ya I had a 65 Buick Skylark V6 with 1bbl carb. It's like having a built in governor, silly concept. Edited July 18, 2023 by Dave G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
