Ok this is for all the carburetor masters out there haha! this was on my 455 when i got it, want to replace everything i can in it. what rebuild kit do i need lol. ive dug through the net and there are about 8 million different qjet rebuild kits lol.
Call cliff at Cliffshighperformance.com He can advise you and provide all the components you need. That is a 72 Chevy 350 Quadrajet, and will need some recalibration to get the best performance from it. If it is original, it will have huge main air bleeds and will require very large jets.
Best results will be had by starting with a buick 455 qjet core. The calibration is entirely different in a Chevy carb.
Ok that is what i was afraid off.. thanks for the advice guys!! ill will begin shopping around, i read somewhere qjets only came in 750 and 800 cfm so i wasnt sure there was any big difference in them. ill look on the big list in this forum for what i need Time to begin shopping! Thanls again!!!!
oh nice! checking them out now!!! i found some cheap cores on ebay that i could send off but dont really know about ebay lol.
Right Larry. I have several hundred Quadrajet cores on hand, most are Buick's! There are two sizes of main bodies in quadrajets, but the internal circuits are different on every single vehicle application. It is amazing. I prefer always to build a quadrajet that originated with the same make of engine. Buick quadrajet on a Buick engine for example. Much easier to set those up. I buy quadrajets, and would take yours back as a core exchange if you are interested.
