I have a 1960 Pontiac Catalina Vista Hdtp 389 cu/in auto trans. All original car, engine, intake manifold. Rochester 2GC etc. Would like to buy a new carburetor and like to know which carburetor will fit on the original intake manifold and air filter. Please inform on 2-bbl or 4-bbl carbs which suits perfectly and will make this engine run flawless.

Attached is a pdf of a Pontiac carburetor usage chart. You will note that there are seven (7) different 2-bbl. carbs shown for 1960. They are probably mostly the same, with only minor differences due to which particular engine was used and whether it was an automatic or standard transmission. I would bet that any of them would work fine for your car.

In reference to 4-bbl. carbs, obviously one isn't going to fit on your car unless you change the manifold and other items too. Probably not worth the effort or cost.

Remember that there are a lot of kits still available to rebuild these carbs too.

See attached pdf below which you can download.
