That place usually has decent cars. I use to live about 5 minutes from there now I'm about 45 minutes away. Last time I was there unless you are going to buy, they charge you a entry fee to just look at what is there.

No aftermarket intake on my car. everything but the carb is OEM. Yes my car has a HEI distributer, not sure what it is out of though. It kind of sounds like the idle stop solenoid isn't needed now as much as it was needed back in the day. I am going to pose that question to the guy I am sending the carb out to for the rebuild

yes that is what I thought that was, now I just need to see where the wire runs( if the person who put on the edelbrock left the wire in place, although not really sure that solenoid is needed ). And need to figure out if the divorced choke stuff is still in place on my car.

Scott, Let me ask you this question, in this picture I have a blue circle. Where does this plug into? Have you ever had to do anything with it or make any adjustments? I am pretty sure I remember all the vacuum lines( connections ) and any other connections I need to make. Need to find my old service/repair manual I had from my other cars. Thanks again for your help Rick

I have one, just wanted to verify the one I have was from a 72. I am not a fan of the edelbrock that was put on the car. I will be sending out mine to a guy who use to work for the Quadrajet guru Cliff Ruggles. And was just clarifying what I have is correct. But if for some reason I have a issue with this one I Will hit you up. Thanks, Rick

This helps a ton thank you. I wasn't sure on a couple things on this carb I have that I couldn't remember from having my first car back in 1983. my carb looks identical just not sitting on a motor at this time Rick

I bought a SealSkin premium I believe it is. As my car sits in a garage I can not attest to the waterproof but that was one of the reasons I bought. Them saying it's waterproof and actually made for the car( fitment ) fits better then the lightweight Calcover( I think that is where my first one was from ) I don't have a pictures of it on, but if you need one I can get one and show you. Rick

Quite a few years back I bought a Q-Jet from one of the members her( to many for me to remember who I bought it from ). Well I am finally looking to have it rebuilt with upgraded bushing s and the like from one of the guys who use to work with the master Cliff Ruggles. To shorten the whole post. It appears that the carb I have which came of said memebrs 1972 Monte, found in researching the numbers the carb is actually a Carter built Q-Jet off a 1973 GMC truck. Both the master and the guy it looks like I am sending it off to get rebuilt, said this carb will work with no issues. What I am looking for, is a few pictures of the carb on their stock 350 4bbl to make sure everything from the outside should match , as in the kickdown cable and the electic choke setup. So if someone has a few pictures it would be great if you can send them or post them here so I can get my butt in gear and get this carb returned to a oem(ish) piece EDIT:::: I just found and looked at the numbers on said q-jet. It appears it is a original from a 72 MC # 7042202 A2 DJ in looking 704( model years used 70 to 75 ) 2 ( model yr 72 ) 2 ( fed or Cal emissions 2 everywhere but Cali ) 0 ( 0,1 and 2 stand for Chevy ) 2 ( automatic Trans ). Looking deeper into the numbers this could have been a original unit for my car the A2 stands for A ( jan ) 2 ( model year ). my car came of the line first week of june of 72. Thanks, Rick

Over the last couple weeks I finally did a couple things I've been wanting to do. Got the Vette Ralleys on( still need to get trim rings ), and the LED headlights, oh and a good bath and interior cleaning...now just need to get the LED tail lights in
