Wanted: Buick 350(or similar) Quadrajet

[AuroraGirl]

Similar to my other wanted but this one I would buy it outright.

mines a 77 but it looks 72-79 should be similar. Electric choke or at least swappable preferred

What’s it’s original appplication?<and how much asking

 

[DanMcG]

I think I might have one Taylor. I'll get back to ya.

As far as it goes, I’m not needing it to be a Buick original carb as much as a 4 barrel, front straight inlet(bop) and electric choke capable or already. Higher cfm is nice but not necessary. Not building an engine for power but also don’t say no to more cfm capabilities

 

[DanMcG]

Not sure if this choke will convert to electric or not, it's a hot air choke now. 17057256 and was used on 77-79 OBP's.
There is some play in the throttle shafts, I have never heard it run.

Okay Aurora girl.Do you presently have a carb. ? I.D. number? All qjets are not the same, yep, you can make them work but to save yourself time and trouble you'd be best off getting a q jet as similiar as possible to what was O.E. assuming the engine is original. So same engine size would by first consideration, then Auto or manual, then as close to original year.

yes. hence my title and first post

77 Buick 350 Auto th350 electronic choke.
has OE carb, the number I can try and see but I am having it professionally rebuilt where they can make it for an application if not already setup that way

So I guess you're not interested in the one I posted. your welcome.

There were 70's heavier duty GM trucks with the straight fuel inlet too. My '78 C20 Burb is one of them and I know there were others. It's even mentioned in the Cliff Ruggles book. But no electric choke and the throttle linkage might be different. Isn't that the biggest difference in the Buick carbs, the throttle linkage?

I’m not sure I never heard of the linkage part mine might be different to accommodate the cruise connection

Maybe the medium duty or just large trucks had a different carb base for governors and that’s what needdd a straight inlet for some reason maybe the carbs tuneability or compatibility

 

[AuroraGirl]

I can go take a walk over with a thermostatic choke gmc qjet from a 77, I think, small block chevy k25

just to visually compare

This is the Chevy and GMC variant of the straight inlet carb. No electric choke and no Adjustable Part Throttle.

adjustable part throttle is what allows the carb to have a slightly leaner spray under light load and given the timing has been set correctly would stay the same thus giving more mpg, right? But maybe the thought was no one needs mpg in medium duty more so the ability to avoid pinging under certain low throttle, high load scenarios

or something I’m just trying to fenagle some logic, but basically wouldn’t be ideal I gather?
