1961 Rochester Fuel Injection parts

[Mike B.]

Hello all, I recently bought a 61 Corvette with Fuel Injection. It runs well but idle's a bit high.. I decided to just go over everything for two reasons, one to become more familiar with the injection, and second to make sure everything appears to be as it should be. As I inspected some items I noticed that the rubber parts are still pliable, but if you pinch them I can see some cracking. That lead me down the path of thinking I will just get all new rubber parts, some gaskets, a spare drive cable etc etc. And that brings me to my actual question, which is where would be the best source for quality parts. I would assume as with everything, there are different qualities out there and I of course would like to buy the best I can find.. I am still learning about Rochester FI, but what I do know is that the details matter and making sure everything is in good shape and correct is important..
Thank you for any help..

Beautiful car and I give you all the props in the world for driving it and learning to tune the rochester fuelies.
There have been seminars in the past, I went to the one at the Nationals in 2022, it was incredibly informing.

Thank you for the responses. I did more searching and also found Gary in Oregon.. I will call him today.
I am enjoying learning the FI unit.. I ran mechanical injection in our race boats so I understand it, but the Rochester is definitely unique in many ways. So far I have found quite a few small things that weren't right but the car actually ran well.. I think these units are fairly forgiving if the critical settings are correct.
