    Rochester, hot idle compensator

    I am haveing a hot idle problem with a Rochester on a 430. I am looking at the carb, and there is not the hot idle compensator mounted on the back of the carb like some Rochesters have. After doing some reading, there may be another location, but I can see one on this or any of the other Rochesters I have other than the one on the back of the carb.

    It appears as though cars with a/c had them. While I don't see why a car with a/c should have them and cars without shouldn't, my car does have a/c.

    I am seriously considering fitting this carb with one. Any comments?
