carb question

[lildhix]

Ok i have the og 4bbl quadrajet carb..nothing wrong with it..nvr been rebuilt..how much do you guys think i can make off it?

 

[KapPartier]

I would say anywhere between $75 and $150... Depending on the buyer. Alot of people are switching to Edelbrocks and Holleys. But the quadrajet are very good carbs. I still have my 2 barrell from 78. And it works very well. So they do last a good minute.

If you have the electronic/computer controlled carb, you will have to change your distributor as well to a vaccum advance type...

For some reason, I dont like Holley. I prefer Edelbrock. I just dont like the way Holley looks. Edelbrock is better to me. Idk

Why would you want to get rid of your Q-jet? I have had a Holley and an Edelbrock on my car, and I went back with the Rochester. I have a non computer Q-Jet from 1977. I love the way the car runs, and I get decent gas mileage. But when I want to go, those back barrels hum and I take off! 8) My carb is the 750 cfm variety if I remember correctly. And you get to keep your factory metal fuel line so it looks clean under your hood. Just my opinion though...

I just want diff...its prob worthless rebuilding...i like holley..edelbrock good but h*ll to tune

I thought Edelbrock come already ready to install in the car. It should be tuned and everything already. If im not mistaking.

NOTHING is ready to go! you always have to check and adjust any carb when it's mounted.

its prob worthless rebuilding

then that's exactly what it's worth! seriously, a carb that needs rebuild is worth $50. more if the numbers are right and it's a rare model. if it's properly rebuilt it can be worth a few hundred. if you rebuild and modify it for a performance build, it's worth a lot more. but, i'd do the rebuild and mods and put it back on your car. you'd be surprised at what they can do when built right!

yep thats what i'm doing trying to figure out what carb to get for my car.. fam on here says the Qjet and one thing i like about them is the back bore size big and the after market ones are smaller, not sure if the qjet bigger bore size in the back makes a difference or more HP then after market smaller size holes but, i'm just confused on which to get.. i do want electric choke this time though
