Put a Quadrajet on it!
This is not the easiest thing to do. I am not a purist. My 64 GTO was a tri power and after I got the right parts on it the car got 19 mpg. Ran great.
This is not about is a quadrajet being a good carb because I believe it is. For me their are a few things that get in the way. I am not a purist but like the overall look or originality. 1. I have a 2004r transmission and I have not found a reasonable answer to the detent cable adapter for a quadrajet. 2. finding a quadrajet that is right for your car and engine. I think I have one. I have a 7041264 for a relativel stock small valve 400. Getting the carb rebuilt. 1. finding a qualified person to rebuild it. The good rebuilders are swamped. I here a lot of nightmares of unqualified rebuilders and the carbs have to be gone through again. 2. Rebuild it your self. I have gotten a rebuild kit from Cliff R. who was very helpful. But I don't have the confidence to do it myself. And I would like to have it cleaned and color Buy a rebuilt one. Who sells good ones? I am a hobbiest and not a mechanic so the path of least resistance is to buy a one size works for all cases. So I am all about putting a quadrajet on it, but it is easier said than done. So for all the people on the forum who have helped me along the way I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks Greg Let the beating begin. |
There are several builders on this site, I cant name them all. Im sure some will chime in. I used SMI out of California. He was about 8 weeks out, and build a carb to compliment my engine build sheet. It ran very well right out of the box. The only thing I have touched is the idle speed screw and the APT a little. It was about $550 for mine with a -8 an fuel inlet. Yours would probably be cheaper.

https://quadrajetpower.com/ I think Cliff gave them a good review here, recently. Said they buy some parts from him. I also remember at least one good review from a guy on another Pontiac forum who bought from Everyday. The guy at Everyday appears to be a Buick guy. http://www.everyday-performance.com/index.htm |

Anybody using an overdrive with a Quadrajet?

Dick Boneske here on the forums does Tri-Power carbs as well as any other restoration expert and could easily handle replating, coloring and rebuilding your Q-jet carb within a reasonable time frame.

I guess I don't understand the thread?
You mention a 1964 GTO; is this the car on which you will be installing the Q-Jet? If not, then what vehicle? What are your goals? Jon. |

I have a quadrajet that I used with an art carr 2004r without any issues at all with the transmission.
The quadrajet was a remanufacture from SMI if you are interested. I just recently went fuel injected. I will get the numbers off of the carb is you would like. |

Had him do a q-jet a few years ago. It was all FUBAR to say the least. I had to send it to Cliff to get sorted out. |
