Re: Bob's '55 Patrician Blog

The WCFB must not have been the original (vs spec'd Rochester 4G), but neither was the engine. It is a '55 352 (casting # 440275-A) with 440689 heads but stamped 5587 (for a 400) vs 5582 (Patrician), although identical in every way.

As far as carb specs:
Air Horn: 6-889
Main Body: 0-986
Throttle body/base: 1-1231
Primary throttle valves 2-92
Secondary throttle valves 2-161
I infer that it is a WCFB 2232S and bought a carb rebuild kit for that.

I am hoping I can find a primary shaft somewhere that can be made to work (7" long, 3/8" diam).

thanks for your help
