Wanted: Divorced style choke for Q-jet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So.Cal.Super · 08-21-2007, 05:04 PM

I just got done having my orginal q-jet rebuilt for my truck and was told the only thing I need to replace is a Divorced Style Choke. the description is it looks like a long rod with a coil spring on the end? I tried looking for a pic on the net but came up short. I was told by my rebuild guy it has to be off a Q-jet that was on a Big block. If anyone has a parts Q-jet and wants to sell me this I would be grateful. if you have an intact q-jet with choke and want to let it go let me know also. I will buy a complete unit but would rather just buy the part.

Someone has to have one collecting dust they hauled off their 400 72 Big block.

Thanks.

How can you tell the difference, I think I have one sitting around gathering dust and dirt dobbers.

So.Cal.Super · 08-21-2007, 06:09 PM

I'm not sure on how to tell the diff, I put a call in too my rebuild guy and will relay what he says as soon as I talk to him. maybe someone on the boards knows? any help is appreceated.

Thanks for looking J, and see if I only need the choke the dirt dobbers will still have a good home.

If you cant find one here checkwith danchuk or some other bb car parts vender- generally the parts choke rod, spring and cover are in a kit for around20 bucks

So.Cal.Super · 08-21-2007, 08:20 PM

sweet! Thanks 71 Super. I talked to my carb guy and he says the only way to tell is it had to have come off a Big Block. He says the rod lengths differ from small to big.

You also need to know what year it's on. The way they bolt to the intake is different. I think 68-70 are the same and 71/72 are alike. The earlier years have a high rise intake. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

So.Cal.Super · 08-23-2007, 02:35 PM

Thanks Uncle.

It's on a 72 400 BB. from what I can find on line the linkage rod is the part I can't find. anyone taken a stock intake off a big block and replaced it with a performer intake. seems you would have had to buy a different length and have the orginal sitting around?

anyone know how long the one I need is? can't find a length listed on the net.

If you do get that pic I would apreceate it uncle. any and all help/suggestions are welcomed.

71 Super I looked for Danchuk in the member listing and can't find him. the name sounds familier as if I have seen it while cruising the boards.
