Doug, some additional information would make this an easier question. Is your original a two or four barrel? Do you have auto trans or standard? Is the car air-conditioned (other than putting down the top)? Was the engine rebuilt to a reasonably stock configuration? What criteria are you looking for ie. looks? performance? economy? Is your original running poorly, and you need to change, or do you just wish to change? Will try to help if you post answers to above. Jon.

Doug, probably the easiest (and maybe best) avenue would be to obtain a factory Q-Jet intake from a 1968 or 1969 400 Catalina along with the carb 7028262 (1968) or 7029262 (1969), and the air cleaner. The 1969 especially should be readily available in the boneyards. PY should have a fuel line for the Catalina which should fit. By going with the factory stuff, everything SHOULD fit without major modifications. You may have to go a size richer on the carb primary jets (smaller engine, less volume of air meaning less velocity, and possible lean condition), but I would rebuild it stock first. After you get the engine running, watch your water temperature. If it doesn't run hot, or ping, your mixture will be OK. If is goes run hot, change the primary jets 0.002 larger. There are other avenues (Carter AFB, Holley, etc.), but I would recommend this one for best driveability, and ease of conversion. Jon.

Doug, before doing anything with the carb, find out why the engine is not running smoothly. With the two barrel, should be smooth as silk, but just run out of breath at the top end. Even tho fresh rebuild, check the compression, and ignition systems. The best carburetor ever made won't solve a faulty ignition system. Jon.

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.
