Re: Same quadrajet instead of double pumper holley???

This much I can say, the Q-jet will be a pita to properly jet to your new engine. You almost need a master’s degree. I pulled my Q-jet off and put my old 4150 on with a 1” spacer what difference, I also put an electric choke kit on it and new jets and power valves , so easy to tune. So this is just my 2cents, good luck!

I would give that Quadrajet a try.
You will only be out the cost of a spacer an gaskets.

Make sure both spacer gaskets cover ( fully ).
The intake to spacer gasket and the carb to spacer gasket should have 100% coverage with no gaps or you will have a vaccum leak.

Then if Quadrajet doesn't run good,Try the Holley it may run okay?

JMHO

Re: Same quadrajet instead of double pumper holley???

From what I found the adapter for the quadrajet is from Mr gasket....Is this the right part number 1932?? If I go with Holley I can grab same day from summit here in ga....but they have their own part number from others retailers.....I'm wanted to grab both for the time being..... other than AutoZone where is am the best place to get original parts for 70s block, I need a dipstick, and few other grabs.
