Re: quadrajet swap?????
You mean swap from your existing computer controlled Q-jet to a non-cc Q-jet?
No, not really. You'd need to swap distributors and also find a way to control your torque converter lockup.
If that's what you're talking about.

Your biggest problem is this part: "San fernando Valley". You need a CC carb to pass smog inspection.
But, if you're trying to fix some problem with your CC carb by using a non-CC carb for a base, it won't work. If you're trying to replace some missing parts from the non-CC carb with parts from the CC carb, the choke is one thing that will work, and probably the idle kick solenoid, but your main problem is still in the first paragraph.
