I have one of these quadrajets with the slotted secondaries, and have seen it written that these were high performance models.
Does anyone know Which year/models of cars came with these carbs? |

The slotted secondaries were used on many carburetors. Check the carburetor identification number to obtain the original application.

Pontiac q-jets used slotted secondary flaps until 1975. Most of the 75 and newer Pontiac carbs had solid flaps and the fuel supply holes directly in line with the flaps so they are exposed to the underside of them. The slotted flaps in the early carbs are actually a bit too large and let in a lot of air when the secondaries are quickly opened. In actual operation the fuel runs almost directly down the inside of the secondaries, the large slots are not needed. We've had much better success using very small notches or relocating the fuel supply holes under solid flaps....Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
