| |  ot chevy s10 carb ideas
i have an 84 chevy s10 with a bad carb. it is a rochester 2 barel carb on a newrer 2.8 V6. I have been told that there are no new parts to be had for these carbs. i was looking for the likes of a rebiuld kit, as it bogs down when you hit the throtle, and runs way rich all the time. So essentilay wheres the best place to get a rebuild kit for such a beasts. Oh an ive tried 3 different part places.
Im also fighting a loosing battle with a distributor that wont stay timed, and that eats moduals for lunch when ever i get stuck in a lineup and am wondering whats stoping me from findin a differnt v6 distributor and just chngeing the gear to fit.

One idea I have would be to convert to the TBI fuel injection system used on the S10 2.8 V6 starting in 1986. It's not a simple bolt on solution, but the TBI system parts are available.
If you let me know the carburetor number of your current rochester 2 barrel verijet carburetor, I can see what if any parts are still available in the Portland Oregon area. Another idea I have would be to convert your current carburetor and distributor to a non-computer carburetor and distributor used in the 1980 Chevy Citation 2.8 V6.

There used to be a Weber conversion kit available, and Edelbrock also made a 2 piece intake that would run a small 4-bbl. I know there are replacement carbs available, I just had parts get one for a customer. Pricey, though, $500.00 US. I'd go with a Weber kit if emissions were not an issue.
