What's this on the intake manifold?

K85, the thread took this turn when he asked about what made the intake a quadrajet. Style intake. Cheif, the avenger carbon is actually a truck avenger. Fairly popular with offroad dudes. Especially. Ford guys.
 
Autozone is the way to go on rebuilt q jets. They are rebuilt by holly and they look brand new. I am guessing you are not looking for an electronic q-jet? Which means you wouldn't have I worry about getting bad electronics in it. Either way you can return it and get another if it is no good.

Good luck telling someone who has been rebuilding carbs the wrong way since the 80s that you want your money back at a local shop. Ask me how I know.

If you get a carb rebuilt by a local shop it will come back looking like you sent it to them and probably working the same minus new gaskets and some carb cleaner.

I gave autozone a carb for a core that had been sitting outside so long everything was frozen and it was full of junk leaves and stuff. They didn't care.

Oh and my reman from autozone was cheaper then my rebuild at a local shop that actually broke the secondaries linkage pin off my carb... Ugh... And told me they got it that way.
 
Which q jet are you looking for? I don't think they have it by make and model and the people at my autozone didn't know they had it until I made them put in the part number.

If you go to Hollys website they have a section under products for remans and you can see the different models.
 
About the autozone carbs, that could be the way to go for you. Im guessing a 64-7149 would work for you and lists at $279 +$45 core at autozone.

Not sure, but the ones on that website you posted look a lot better....
 
Hmm,
I've had good luck with the edelbrock QJets.

What sucks about finding a used Qjet, there are so many different variables when it comes to fuel line input, throttle style, MC solinoilds, and good base plates. Anymore I just get new ones for my customers.

eh, that's becoming quite difficult these days... EFI has been out a LONG time, not too many carb shops around any more.. check the yellow pages, or you'd send it off to JET, SMI, etc... might as well just buy there's at that point...

it's not hard at all, we could walk ya thru a rebuild....... I can do em blindfolded... I used to do pairs of em on my coffee table at night for extra money back in the day...

Must have been nice having the house smell like carb dip:whistle:

That why the SMI sounds better...they replace everything and resurface the baseplate and add the dichromate finish...a real total rebuild...

Yeah I think that is the best way to go. The dichromate finish looks really good. It comes off a little over time if you obsess over cleaning your engine bay. I have had my reman q jet for i think four years now though and the finish still makes the carb look like new.
 
I sold two carburetors for $300 so I have enough to buy the Rochester now...

The Sean Murphy one is $325 + shipping = $359

There is one on eBay for $225 that claims to be totally reman

Is the Sean Murphy one the one I should get?

I couldn't find one at Auto Zone or any of the other parts stores.
 
I think summit has a big reman selectiOn too
