I take it that it is a quadrajet and not a 4175 spreadbore. If so... Hey, its a quadrajet. What do you want?

Seriously. Its just a rebuilt quadrajet. They probably didnt even change the float which why it was traded in as a core in the first place. The only way you really know if you get a good quad is if you buy a new one. Otherwise it could be cobbled together out of whatever they have that looks OK and new gaskets. Most rebuilders dont even rebush the throttle shaft bores unless theyr'e way beyond toast.
