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 Last edited by ponyakr; 10-04-2019 at 01:40 PM. |

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.

We've talked before....No overdrive, but close. I'm running my stock, original '67 Q-Jet in my '67 GTO with a small-valve 9.3CR 400 engine and TH400 trans. The 'overdrive' is my 2.56 rear end. Fuel mileage on the open road is excellent, for the weight of the car. 21 MPG at 75-80, one time got 23 mpg average when I cruised at 65 mph on a 140 mile trip. Good throttle response, smooth, runs cool, sips gas.

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. |
