which one will bolt on a stock intake without any hassle? I want vacumm secondaries and the motor is pretty much stock. I could get a stock rebuilt qjet but the price difference isnt much. I dont have to pass emissions but im keeping the egr on the car and the evap system as well. Car is non cc

Basically what i need is model #s of the carbs and the adapter plate if i need one

 

is the holley 4175 a bolt on replacement? And if so, wil my l69 dual snorkel air cleaner fit on it?

 

The 4175 is a bolt-on and the L69 aircleaner will fit.

 

However, you may have to mess with the TV cable geometry.

 

Is there a bracket that holley makes coz i was reading up on the geometry stuff. The bracket that bolts to the intake thah the cables run through was bent out of shape before and so im guessing that this is not good and what do i do to fix it?

Also, i have an old rochester qjet from a 70 impala, its never been used and was wondering if i could use that instead of buying a new carb. It looks very similar to what i have now except its missing the evap vacuum line and such. I know its along shot but its here so waas just wonderin

 

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by switching carburators? The stock Q-Jet flows up to 750 cfm- that beats my Holley. The reason I put a Holley on my car was almost all of sensors and my distributor went bad and I got a good deal on a Holley/vaccum adv. distributor setup.
By the way, if you want to switch to an aftermarket carb, you will need a new distributor. Also, you will need a way of locking up your torque convertor if you want to keep the tranny function as it is now.
Unless you're just dying to get a Holley/Edelbrock, I would save your money for something that would really help your LG4's performance, like exhaust and a cam.

Just my

 

I want a carb that works, mine isnt and i dont wanna rebuild it coz i dont know how. Also, a rebuilt qjet is gonna cost me $500 plus tax from a parts store, or the shop quoted me the same price to do it themselves. I dunno, to me spending more on a rebuild then on a brand new carb doesnt make sense.


I wont need a new distributor and such because my car is Canadian, no ecm. If it is justifiable to buy a rebuilt rather than new, i would probably do it but is there any reasons why i should? I havent really made up my mind if im gonna buy a new one, been going over it and such with my dad. He says to rebuild it and such but i dont wanna screw it up more. I know i wont get any performance out of it, i just wanna get it runnin as soon as possible. Basically i wanna do whats best . Ive already put my headers on and the cam is from a 350, not sure what but thats what i was told . Its all about cost and what i can afford so im open to anything not to expesnive but 500 for a rebuild seems crazy to me

I did find these on ebay, is it a good replacement?

Either one of those would be fine.

 

Thanks again

 

What parts store gave you a 500 price tag? Last month I bought a rebuilt CC q-jet for 269.00 and my core was 30.00.
Really, by the time you buy a aftermarket carb plus the new dizzy your gonna shoot 500.00.

 

He is really not kidding. When you change carbs their is alot of little things that add up to cost alot of money and tend to be a pain in the rear. You will also sacrifice alot of fuel mileage over a properly setup CCC Q-jet.

 

heh. the aircleaner on the l69 didn't fit on my holley 4160 carb. would have been nice had it fit, but the fuel inlet was in the way just enough to prevent it from fitting.

 

But i dont have a cc carb

and the store that quoted me was Canadian Tire, same price as the shop that quoted me.

 

Yea, I guess if its a Canadian car then no cc and that means money. I would just get on Summit racings website and shop around for a new carb and dizzy. I'm not a big carb guy so I cant really give an opinion, but I have had better luck with Edelbrock than Holly.

 

With my experience edlebrock works well for the average car, and holleys can be a pain for the lower priced models. depending on the model of holley you get, you have alot of different things you can do to the carb to get the car running how you would like. but most times it is not needed. the biggest problem with holleys are when alot people buy them, they automatically think they have to change things on the carb to get thier car running right, which most times makes it that much harder to get things right. The biggest problem i have ever had with any holley i have ever had ( and the 4160 with vac sec has been the biggest pain because i had to rebuild it) is that i have gotten the small bog in the engine, until about 2000 RPM and then it will run like a raped ape. I still chime in at about 22mpg hwy driving though. so it works out well as long as i do not stomp on the gas.

I never had much luck with any of the quadra jets. especially the Computer Controled ones. the minute you remove anything from the emissions setup it decides to do other things.


The biggest thing to worry about is the air cleaner though. on mine. it would not fit any way shape or form over the top of the carb. and even had it (with an edlebrock performer intake) i would not have had enough hood clearance to shut my hood. Which is the cause of the slight bog, since i have this thin air cleaner on now to fit under the hood. Remedy of that will come when the mold for my shaker style scoop is done.
