Actually I need help to find one to use. I'm building a .030 over 455, to be backed by a 2004R. Rear Gear tbd, but I have aquirred a 8.5 10 bolt from a '72 Skylark and am leaning towards 3.08 or 3.23 if anyone has some good used ones. This brings us to the question. I saw a Q jet on a Cadillac 500 but didn't note the year(Mid 70's I'd guess). After a search I didn't find much info on the carb in question other than another post here stating that this might not be a good choice for a performance carb. How do I determine if this would be a good one to get and what CFM it might be rated at? Thanks
Rich, It is a Buick and it wants a Buick carb! Just find an 71 -74 Electra or riv as they are all 800 CFM carbs and are the best. I would think Texas yards would have plenty of them. I have even found some here in rustville Mass. 71 starts with 7041, 72 starts with 7042. Fourth digit is year.
Tips on troubleshooting... Here are some good troubleshooting tips, not sure if any info on identifying them or not. Hope this helps. http://www.corvettefaq.com/c3/QJetTroubleshoot.mht Good Luck Bert
