Need a Q Jet for a 350
FINALLY changing over my 70 Le Mans to a 4 bbl. 350/4 sp/3.08. Going with stock 11 heads, slight port, screw in studs, cut .020-.030. Likey going with a Melling SPC-7 068 equivalent cam with Rhoads lifters. Daily driver with a little more, not a race car.
Probably just run down to Advance to get a rebuilt stock unit, I imagine any 70 400 application would work? Numbers matching not an issue. |

Not knowing what your budget is.....
A parts store is alleged to be the worst place to buy a crab. A reman carb can be a hodge podge of parts thrown together. You could be buying a genuine headache w/ no way of making it work correctly. Call Cliff, and see if he's possibly got something on the shelf, or look on e-bay for a new carb, if possible.... A friend gave me a Q-Jet, I was overjoyed, until I de-crudded it, and found the reman sticker on it.....

i had a parts store rebuilder once, never again what a nightmare. couldn't get the car to run right. bought a new spread bore holley with an electric choke, about 10 minutes of external adjustments and it runs great. on a stock 400 by the way.
if you have to have a Q-jet, imo, find a good core and put a kit in it yourself or i bet rich at M&R engines could hook you up. |

I have a rebuilt carb from a 74 Firebird 455 I'd sale for 115 + shipping. I bought it from another member here on PY and I didn't end up using it. There are some pics if you search on my user name.

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.
