Update to my (frame off restoration) 1979 Cutlass Calais

Well, I surely hope that's not the case because that Card is specifically for an olds 350 engine. Well, atleast that's what the paperwork/seller say. The intake, carb and olds 350 should all line up and be in sync....

Do you know that for sure?

Definitely a Chevy carb. I have rebuilt those things in my sleep. The Olds and Cadillac Qjets are the only ones that have the straight inlet. Buick Chevy and Pontiac use the one you have.
Sorry
You can still use it though.

Do you know the name of the carb that I have?

That is a QuadraJet, It's just a chevy Qjet. Edelbrock bought the tooling to remake them. I'm searching for a olds Qjet to show the difference.

Well, I don't know how I missed that. From what I read when I originally bought it, it was compatible with an olds 350, but now everything I'm reading says Chevy. I can't believe I missed that. How much of a problem is this going to be with the intake I have listed above?

This is the Olds Carb.

You can use it. Just watch how you route the fuel line and you'll be ok.

What will I be sacrificing in performance by having a Chevy carb? What other factors should I be aware of besides the straight outlet?

Your doing better than I did. I got caught in the Auto part store lack of knowledge.

Is my barb compatible with the Edlebrock Performer RPM Intake Manifolds and a 350 olds?
