Rochester Quadrajet
So while poking around my truck I've now found I have a TH350 not a TH400 as PO normally said AND to really top it off.. I pulled the serial # off my carb.. some funny results..
The number I got was: 1708-5-5-8-6 Which basically means: 1708 = 1980 5 = 1985 5 = Cali Emissions 8 = Checker and Marine 6 = Auto transmission Upon doing some reading it appears Checker and Marine is exactly that a marine company so it perhaps looks like my Qudrajet belongs on a boat ... |

If you think about it, It is on a boat....  If it performs properly I wouldn't worry about it....

 Thing is its not working properly.. if I put the pedal to the floor it bogs badly and looking at it today looks like there maybe a gasket leak (just not a lot). So I'm going to do as said and buy a 600 cfm carb and pull it and use it as a backup means or sell it to someone for parts. |

You could tie a rope to it and use it as a "boat" anchor ! Sorry..... Good Luck with the new carb.....
