    Hi All,
    I am new to this forum. Just bought a 73 maverick that has been sitting in a barn for 30 years. All gummed up with age but only 30,000 miles. Owner tried to rebuild carb but messed it up. It has a rochester carb. I thought that the 250 engine came with a carter carb??? Does anyone know? Where can I get a repair manual for this car?

    In my mind, I always associate a Rochester carb with a GM product
