Quadrajet ?

[canadabronco]

What type of Quadrajet does Chuck use? I wouldn't mind trying to rebuild my own but there are so many out there to chose from. Anyone able to read the part number on the side?

I do not know what Chuck uses but get on from a 350 chebby V-8. After rebuilding you will probably have to adjust the secondary air valve about 1/8 th of a turn to open quicker due to your 302's air consumption. I know Chuck has special modifications done on his carbs that may make it better in the extreme conditions but after doing 3 of these I have never needed them. Unless you have access to these carbs cheap and put in a quality kit his prices are not out of line.

They are from an 80's truck. I just put one on, still trying to get it running right but they seem like a good carb.

Pretty much a Q-jet is a Q-jet shell wise. If you ask for a 1970 cheby 1/2 ton PU with a 350 4bbl and your local parts pusher........you will get a q-jet. Chuck did some internal parts mods. Stiffer secondary springs and stuff like that. Great carb for crawling!!!!!!

Here's a silly question that may make me look stupid but.... here goes.<br><br>Who makes them? I see that people call some holley's q-jet's. As well as Edelbrock?? Then I see Rochester. I'm confused.
