Re: replacing a quadrajet with a used holley 600

Never heard of an edelpuke. What is it and who makes it? Never seen a good holley either, used or new.

Second picture is a vacuum fitting. Looks like the line going down the rear of the motor is for the vacuum modulator for a TH350 transmission.

Third picture is just a stock 4 barrel intake. Nothing special, actually good for marine usage, like an anchor.

The engine looks like it came out of a mid 70s to possibly very early 80s pickup or car. In stock form they were not known for power.

Like GASoline71 states, the major problem with Q-jets is the throttle shaft. It wears out where it goes through the main body causing a nasty and intermitant vacuum leak. There is a bushing kit made to fix that problem. Lot of used holleys have the same problem.
