Hey guys, I met a guy who told me that he has many (doesnt know how much) old NOS 4 bbl carbs at home. He wouldnt use them. But if I want them I can come and get them. So I picked 5 carbs up. I never saw this type of carb before. Its a 4bbl spread bore with many part interchangable to the Q-jet. They are Solex 4A1 Yesterday I took one of them apart. They will need some machine work to flow like a Q-jet because they were designed for smaller engines. But in my oppinion its a real good carb: - Holley type acc. pump with adjustable volume - E-Choke with water temp. controled cold idle. - easy to change prim. jets and rods - ---- / / ---- sec. jets - replacing power piston spring without opening the carb. - electric controled "engine-Stop" valves which cut off the fuel if you turn off the ign. Very interesting carb. Has anyone tried to use one of them? Im not sure if I can get it to feed a 455. I added some pics. Sorry, I wasnt able to find something in english. If you want to know something, let me know and I will translate it.
Rolls Royce used to put one of them on their 6.75l V8´s from 1975 - 1980. They also used a TH400 trans in those cars
and what does he say? I don´t have the book? interesting infos or not very useful? How about CFM ratings?
