Rochester 1 barrel

[Nazz]

  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.

A 1 barrel on a v6?  Sure it isn’t a 2 barrel carb?

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

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.

  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.

Here is the intake.

Ya I had a 65 Buick Skylark V6 with 1bbl carb. It's like having a built in governor, silly concept.
