Q Jet

Hi Neal
I have two that I will check the numbers on tomorrow morning.
I think that they are from somewhere around 1978-81.
I will get back to you in the afternoon.

You can check if Chicago Corvette in Justice Ill. has one. They have a good supply of numbers matching quads.

Shark , Thanks for the info ,but from what I have been told the BEST way for me to go is get a carb and have it rebuilt (if necessary) rather than get a "Commercially Rebuilt " carb ...This is coming from Lars and Sensei ... so the hunt continues>>>

If you don't do the rebuild yourself. Maybe ask Cliff Ruggles, I think he has some old thing around and thats also a good or the best place to let it be rebuild.

Thanks Peter, shot Cliff an e-mail to see what advice/carbs he has , as far as NAPA or a parts store ...what I have been told is NOT to get a "comercially rebuilt " unit .:ugh

I still have it. They were good but they have been sitting on the shelf for 10 yrs.
So it should be rebuilt.If you want it 50. plus shipping.
