Pop your popcorn, as this is a long and in depth video on how to overhaul a vintage square bore Rochester 4-Jet, also referred to as a 4GC carburetor. In this video, you will see the disassembly, cleaning, reassembly and correctly setting up all the float and linkage adjustments.
This is a 60+ year old four barrel carburetor used on many GM cars and trucks in the late 50's and into the 60's, that I overhauled. This carb is set up for 1959 to 1964 Chevrolet 283's and 327's. The Chevy 348 from 1959 to 1961 used the same spec's, so it will work on a 348 also.
I did not re-plate this carburetor, I gave it a quick light coat of gold rattle can spray paint to make it look good, as most of the plating was well worn away, so gasoline may remove the paint if spilled on it.
I overhauled this carburetor for resale, along with a 1960 (dated July 18th 1960) Chevrolet 283 four barrel Power Pac intake manifold I restored to sell as a package deal. I would like $950 "cash" for both the intake and carburetor, as-is with no warranty. I will not ship due to size and weight, as I am not building a wooden box to ship them in. I am close to a lot of major freeways, being the closest to 1-75 and the I-696 interchange just north of Detroit, Michigan. Go to my "about" page here on RU-vid for my email if you're interested in purchasing the set up.
I have an identical new in the box 4GC carburetor I will be overhauling soon. I might make a quick video.... 30 minutes or less on it, just giving the very basics of rebuilding it. After 64+ years of sitting on a shelf, the rubber on it is rock hard or totally disintegrated. I'm going to keep it as a spare for my 59 Bel Air's 348.
I also have a late 50's to mid 60's Rochester 2-Jet, 2GC I rebuilt and made a past video on that I will sell and ship, due to it being already boxed up for a buyer that never followed threw with purchasing it. Here is that video; • Rebuilding a GM Roches...
