I tried to disassemble the Chevy carburetor. Unfortunately it was so tarnished and worn that I couldn't get the float, needle, and primary metering rod assembly out of the fuel bowl. I would have to do some heavy duty chipping away at the bird's nest / oxidation / wasp's nest.

Anyways, I think I will just go ahead and order new primary metering rods and primary jets. That would be the best bet since they are so cheap.

BTW, I cleaned the fuel bowl on the Olds carburetor and found the following number.

7043251 RB
0193
