    Hi!
    Cleaning out my garage and I have 3 or 4 ( I have to check!)q-jets off of 455 buicks? I assume they are 800cfm units? If anyone is intersted I will post the #'s off them.
    Thanks Brad :Do No:

    Got the carb #'s

    Hi again!
    I've got 4 carbs ,3 are off 455's one is off a 67 or 68 wildcat I just wanted the heads. Every time I come across a big block buick I just can't pass it up! Kind of like a lost puppy!! But I don't want the carbs I'm a holley guy! Truth is I don't know a darn thing about them!

    Can anyone "decode" these carbs? How do I tell what CFM's they are? Do I measure the bores at the butterflies? Like I said I know Holley's , but these are a mystery to me?
    Thanks Brad

    The middle two are 800s. (7041540 is 1971 455 and 7042240 is 1972 455)
    The last is 1968 400 and/or 430(?), 750 cfm.
    The first one is 1975 big block, not sure if it is 800, but probably is.
    Frank--if you pass for some reason, I too am interested in 7028240.If

    What are they worth? I don't have a clue? I could use some full size spindles to trade 71-76 lesabre , impalla, etc....
    Thanks Brad

    I would prefer to sell them as a package deal ( saves me trips to the post office!!) How about $150 for all 4 ?
    Thanks Brad

    Too rich for me...I already have a carb that is rebuilt, just need pieces. If you had a couple of Carter AFB's then I might be interested.
