Replacing Factory Quadrajet w/ Jet Performance

Hey everyone, I am looking for a bolt on replacement for my old tired factory quadrajet. I am looking to stick with a computer controlled carb and I have been exploring my options. I have been focusing in on Jet Performance Quadrajets but I am trying to figure out which one will work for my application and be truly bolt on... and if it is even a good idea. I am looking at the stage 2 options. My application is for a 1984 5.0 H.O. nothing too fancy, accell ignition and edelbrock headders.

Which would be the correct computer controlled carb?
Part # 32002
Part # 32102
Part # 35002

thanks a lot for any help you can offer. Also, would these carbs come with all of the required connectors, or would they have to be removed from the old carb?

None of those appear to be computer-controlled, and none are for Chevy. (fuel line setup in particular is different)

I don't see anything on their page that's what you're looking for. I'd suggest waiting til they're open, and giving em a call.

Re: Replacing Factory Quadrajet w/ Jet Performance

I had my CC Qjet done by Cliff Ruggles at cliffshighperformance.com He's a specialist in the Qjet world.

If your motor is stock, a stage one is all you need. Only go with a stage 2 if you plan on upgrading the motor later on. If you have Cliff build it, just talk to him on the phone and he'll hook you up.

You will need a C Qjet and as Sofa indicated, none of those are.

I agree on getting the Q-Jet rebuilt. Make sure you have the throttle shaft bore checked, and the well plugs taken care of.
