  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    there's probably a thread 4 this but here goes any way. As u no i run a 455 in 78 camaro fun. Anyway the car sat 4 about 4yrs (no powertrain) , now i had scored a carb off a 76 s/w which i assume was a 800 . I'm running a 750 holley right now but wish to switch to the Q-jet,same car new 455, Only problem is i stored most of my spare parts out in the parts cars(had bad grass fire) and alot of stuff went poof.To make a long story short is there a serial # i can use 4 800 Q-jets cause there were a couple carbs i can salvage but can't remember if its the right carb or not.I have also run newer jets on my olds s/ws so this is where the confusion comes in cause olds & buick have the same hookup, any help greatly appreciated . Later Bake

    I have heard--but not verified--that ALL the '75 and newer Q-jets were 800s if they had a front fuel inlet. Some of the '75-newer side inlet Q-jets were still 750s.

    That seems "too good to be true"; as always the best policy is to LOOK IN THE PRIMARYS to see how big they are.

    So far as I know, all the GM divisions used 800 Q-jets on at least some applications prior to '75, but Buick used 'em first.
