Rochester 4GC idle vent valve?
Any idea how that idle vent valve is supposed to work in 64 Rochester 4GC? There is nothing in 64 Shop Manual and nothing in 64 Delco Rochester 4GC Bulletin. I assume open when idle and closed when gas pedal is pressed ?

I kindly ask anyone who has original Rochester in his 64 to check if there is that idle vent valve in carb. Small plate in my carb says 7024031 so it is original 64. Thank you in advance.

I have what appears to be the same 4GC in my 62 deville, but I don't know what it does nor does the repair manual really give much insight.

Thanks Luke
but I did not catch if your carb has that idle vent valve which I am pointing in photo.
I would like to find out if that was in 64 original Rochester carb of not.

It does indeed. Vent valve and that actuating tang. The manual says
-position fast idle cam so that fast idle screw is on the highest step of cam
-vent valve actuating tang on pump lever should be contacting vent valve so that the rubber disc is just off it's seat
-to adjust, bend actuating tang

Thanks Luke. Do you mean 62 factory service manual?

Yes, for 62, it is a a different OEM number for 64 but I have gone and looked at 64-66 4GC's but I don't think there is much between them. The remans available online for 7024031 have the tang and idle vent valve, and the purpose and setup is surely the same.
I was watching this thread because I wanted to know what it did too!

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
