jwb56 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have owned my 1941 Commander for 3 months now and I'm having a ball with it! (11A B3) Recently I was having some starting trouble and though maybe it was carb related. I thought I'd rebuild the carb. But when I checked the carb number I found out it was the wrong carb. It is a Rochester (see photo). But the car starts and runs nice! Ever heard of such a thing? Thanks.

1927Chevy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Johnthe most important thing is fun! I have a 27 Chevy with a 28 engine. You can find the right carb somewhere. What about the air cleaner! Have more fun!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 We find approximately 65 percent or so of older vehicles have the wrong carburetor for one reason or another. Yours is just more obvious than most (Rochester wasn't in business in 1941). Doesn't mean it won't work. The picture shows the identification tag, which will aid you in getting the proper rebuilding kit, should you decide to rebuild. This link: http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Kstudebaker.htm will help you determine the correct carb, should you decide to go back to original. Jon.
