The electric chokes are worth well over what you paid. Well done.

Re: this is cool

The qjets are great carbes when working correctly, and a huge pain when they aren't. The bad reputation comes from those expecting a worn out 30 year old junk yard carb to perform like a brand new perfectly tuned carb just because they put a basic jet/gasket kit in it.


Anyway great score!

The first one appears to be off of a 85-89 5.7L or 7.4L truck engine.

The second one was used on 1982 5.0L Pontiacs.

A good start is the link below to Lars Grimsruds Quadrajets tuning doc. He is highly regarded over on the corvette forums and is "the" expert when it comes to carbs and distributors.

The link I posted above has a section that gives the carb number and application.
