carbking Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Have been continuing digitizing of carburetor data, and just finished Rochester (at least through 1979). So the trivia question: How many of Rochester's 34 customers can you name? I will give you: Acadian, Beaumont, and Kiekhaefer. And I did not count Chevrolet and Chevrolet Truck as 2 different, one only. Make your own list but only post the number you can remember. I will post my list after a day or so. Again, I have 34 on my list. Had I not been working with these, I would have remembered 30. See if you can beat that number. Jon.

carbking Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Thanks Joe - to be honest, I had not thought about the Apollo in maybe 50 years! Google brought back some fond memories of times before I was bitten by the "buy American" bug. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.f.jones Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) How about aircraft manufacturers? I know they are not carburetors, but did Rochester's fuel injection systems sell to other than Chevrolet and Pontiac?
