Thanks, got the numbers so I'll use them to find something. Then see which carb get redone first.
The $20 mystery Q-Jet (back to looking at it again)

What are you going to use it on? I remember those truck carbs being pretty lean.Remember they were trying to get away without using a CCC carb but emissions were catching up.
I believe so. It looks like a rebuilders carb, must of had a deal on flat head screws for stock.
It might go onto my L48 with an Eldelbrock 2102 cam. If not, it is really just a core I could use for another one. But as I noted earlier I have my 4175 that I have to rebuild since I haven't used it since 2010 that is the main carb I'll be looking at using.

Rebuilders do it so they do not get them back from customers saying its the wrong carb cause the numbers don't match
if I got one from a builder with the numbers removed it'd be going back
A little late on posting this but it is a '85 truck Q-Jet in its original form, but still don't know how it was rebuilt/what was put in it. The plus side is I have a Q-Jet for rebuilding or use as a core. Down side I have another carb that needs rebuilt. I'll just have to figure out what to put in it. Still have the Holley 4175 that I bought new 19 years ago that I was planning to use in the first place & already have a rebuild kit for it. Just see which one to take on first.
I would use the body with the number removed for parts and use them on the other quadrajets you have to rebuild.
