- I have a 1976 Chevy Malibu SW that needs a carb rebuild. I
- have the Chilton manual, and have tried to determine from the pictures
- in the manual which carb I have. (The manual covers all Chevy midsize
- from 1964-1988!!) It says that the carb should be labeled, but I
- can't find a label or number anywhere on the #@$& thing! From what
- the manual says I think it's either a Rochester 2GV (2-bbl) or a
- Rochester M4MC (4-bbl)
-
- My question: Is there a simple way to tell which one of there
- carbs it is? Can you tell if a carb is a 4-bbl just by looking? If
- anyone out there has this car, or a 1976 Chevy vehicle with the 350
- V8, can you tell me the difference, or what yours has, and what it
- looks like?
-
- BTW... I use the car daily, so removing the carb just to find
- out what it is would be highly inconvenient. I like to take it off
- just to rebuild it.
-
- You can e-mail me at the address below, or just post to share
- your knowledge with the entire net. Thanks in advance.
