2. what should the date code be on the carb when my car was built in sept/69

3. has anyone done business with  quadrajet power

4.is it worth it?

My 70 SS has an aftermarket intake and carb, but I have the original one ready to go if I ever decide to put her back to stock. 

It’s a Carter (built for Rochester) but it is the same part number.  Protect-O-Plate reflects a ‘C’ denoting it as correct original equipment on my January 1970 Van Nuys built car. And yes, it’s the right carb for our cars.

thanks, sorry for all the questions

 

My earlier post for carburetor number was incorrect. My number is 7040203. 70 is prefix code, 4 is year (1970 to 75), 0 is year (1970), 2 is model (Quadrajet 4BBL), 0 is division (0,1,2,) Chevrolet division, 3 is transmission, odd #s manual transmission, even #s automatic transmission. Here is picture of carb# and date code J9 September 1969. DB is a Broadcast (customer) code.

Third week of November 1969. The carburetor is not the original carburetor for the car, it is however, close enough for me to date correct, and code correct. The carburetor came off of a 1970 Chevelle with a 350 and 4 speed. The carburetor on the car when I bought it was Rochester Quadra jet from a 1969 truck, I still have it. I try not to be too fussy about that stuff I simply got lucky when I found the carburetor.

so my car being Sept 69 a carb dated July 69 should be okay?

When was the engine built? That's the date code you need to be in the  6 month range. The engine then within 6 months of the car being assembled. 

Engine code T1106CNJ Tonawanda November 6

I think on a big block there is a partial Vin number stamped by the oil filter I could be wrong I’m sure some knowledgeable big block guys would know for sure.

When your 454 was rebuilt the surface was "decked"  and the original vin and engine code were removed. A 512 block, the last 3 in the block part number, would have been used in 1970 for a 454.

You can look for the head(s) casting date and part number under the valvecovers. Also the intake casting date if you feel they are original to the car.
