What was the number for the original quadrajet on my 70 SS? Is it 7040200 or 7040202 or is it something totally different?</font>


Either of those #'s are correct. Your # breaks down as follows:

70 - Rochester (all Qjets start with 70 or 170)
40 - 1970 (40=1970, 41=1971 etc)
2 - 49 state application (5=California)
0 - Chevrolet (0,1,2=Chevrolet)
0,2 - Automatic (even #=auto, odd #=manual)

Hope this helps.

7040202 is correct for a 350 (300hp) with a

automatic transmission

 

7040200 is correct for either a 402 (330hp)

or a 454 (360hp) with a automatic

transmission

 

both carburetors are the same, the only differences are,

(1) .076 primary jets for the 350 vs. .078 primary jets for the 402 & 454.

(2) air valve spring adjustment for the 350 is 7/16, while it is 13/16 for the 402 & 454.

If you see this car on a trailer, call 911, because it's stolen!

on the big block Q-Jet doesn't the fuel line come into the front of the bowl where as a small block Q-Jet it comes in from the side ?

 

 

i think i remember now that Chevy carbs fuel inlet is from the right side. other divisions come in from the front.

at one time i had been using a carb of off a 455 . that must be what confused me.
