Browsing for a new carb. Help with numbers.

I'm trying to find a good core to restore for my 4-barrel intake. I was hoping someone could tell me some buick carb numbers, where to look for them, also if any other carbs will fit. I'm looking to stick with a quadrajet of course. This carb needs to fit on a 1972 4-barrel intake.

Thanks,
Mike the man.

If youre looking for a core, you could hit ebay, they always pop up there. Also swap meets are good. Or better yet, post in Parts Wanted. I am sure someone on the board has the core you want.

 

I've got one for a 350, PM me if your interested

 

My cousin sent me a quadrajet on Monday. It arrived today with the numbers 7040208. It looks so beautiful. Can anyone provide info on this?

Thanks,
Mike the man.

 

7040208 = 70 Chevy truck 350

 

From what i've read about the number it is a 750cfm unit. I plopped it down on my '72 intake and the throttle linkage holds the driver's side up about 1/2" off the intake. Do I need a spacer plate or can I change that whole assembly. Here's some pictures as well.

Wrong Carb. Get the correct Q jet.

 

This is my only option. I will make it work. Thanks for your input though.
