Looking for a replacement Quadrajet and not getting much technical support from vendors. Which is weird they don’t even know about what they sell. My hunch is that the 1903 hot air choke is a direct replacement for what I’ve got on my 75 Electra at the moment. Just want to make sure before I replace it. Everywhere states it’s for Chevy 305 up to 454. Some don’t even mention that just the years 75 to 87 or something like that I’d rebuild mine but I’ve got limited space at the moment and would be much easier to just swap it out. If anybody can confirm or have recommendations for a replacement qjet let me know. Thanks in advance
You don't need to look any further than this V8board. There are 2 guys that do Q-jets right here. One is Ken, he is techg8. This is his website, https://www.everyday-performance.com/ he is in the vendor section, https://v8buick.com/index.php?forums/everyday-performance-llc.172/ The other guy is Mark, he is carmantx, this is his site, https://quadrajetpower.com/
Have one of the guys above build a Q-jet for YOUR engine. You are literally wasting your money buying a remanufactured Quadrajet.
Both mark and Ken are great. I’ve got carbs from both of them! Keep in mind these carbs are custom calibrated for each engine brand and size so it’s best to use the correct one unless it’s been recalibrated.
Just sent the carb off to Ken this afternoon. Pretty excited to see how it runs once I get it back. The secondaries couldn’t be adjust at all so there was no excitement only laughter at WOT. I want this to be daily driver reliable and comfortable…. she’s getting there
I know he tests each carb before he sends them out. You are in good hands... I would consider his electric choke option as well if you are interested.
There's lots of choices out there, but if you want the closest thing for which engineers spent 1000s of hours in testing to find the best induction for your Buick engine, a well-built Rochester is the way to go.
