I am looking at a 72 400 Q-jet. The number is 7042278. This carb is for high altitudes. Would this carb be sufficient for a 69 WT 400 with a Ram Air IV cam that is not in a high altitude area?
Thanks, Bill |

All 1969-74 Pontiac carbs are prime candidates to high performance use.
Buy the carb, have the modifications requiered done and lay rubber. |
