Rochester Quadrajet

Does anyone know where to locate replacement seals for the throtle body plate of a stock Rochester Quadrajet. circa 84 Federal 305 engine without electronic controls other than an electric choke. Specifically the seals that go around the linkage rods that hold the throtle plates for the primary and secondary plates?

There arent any actual seals. If your throttle plate is worn out you'll need to have it re-bushed. Jet makes a kit that has bronze bushings and a reamer for doing this. It's kinda expensive though.. $80 when I bought mine.

Watch out, worn throttle plate bushings can cause the accelerator pedal to stick.

(it is difficult to safely drive a vehicle if the gas pedal is stuck to the floor and will not pop back up)
