Could we create a sticky on this site for carburetor numbers and their original application? We have a plethra of knowledgeable members on here to help the thread along.

Or do you think there are just TOO MANY?? Even if divided by decade?

Perhaps there is a magic book that someone like rain man has compiled over the years?

Probably not even worth it now that the aftermarket is booming?

 

I could look into how to "sticky" a post or thread. I don't know if it would be beneficial, as you said, there are probably so many applications. Let's see what the consensus will be.

 

I have a list of Carbs from 65 to 75.

I could list it for you if you want, it's not like I have anything better to do since I broke my foot.

The list is directly from Mondello

 

I have a spreadsheet on Olds QJets 1966-72 including a hoop and group of tuning info. Can't remember which site I downloaded from or who made it....but it musta took a lotta time and it wasn't me!

Download it here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/0003d5bc60046571/

I just DL 'd it texasred. Thanks for the lead.

Redog...... could you give me the list of numbers for 1975 only??
I bought a complete qjet today for 10 bucks and the guy said it was from a 75 olds 350

It looks right, but I am going to try and reference the number somewhere.

 

All info I have on 1975 carbs

7045297

7045156

7045550

7045282

7045185

 

Rats.

None of the above.

The pot reads:17052397

And the base:
7041455

driver's side reads 7045183k4 1475
It's a 170 carb pot so it should be later than 73
and there is no tps so it is pre 81

After 1974??, carbs are model and motor specific, I think,Damn.

I believe the 4th number ..... which in this case is a 5..... to be the year code. 1975. Perhaps I am mistaken.

 

I think I am onto something here with that idea, see?.

 

Sigh ... 442.com had this link

I shoulda just looked there to begin with..

hmm.... this carb is: 7045183 K4 1475

70 = Rochester products division#
45 = Production year, 4=1970's, 5=specific year, 1975
1= Carb ID --> 1 = 49 state 2bbl?!?!
8= A non GM product division. possibly Mercruiser marine engine??!?!
3= An odd number = a manual transmission

k4= Engine assembly plant?

1475= manufacturing date..... 147th day of 5 =1975

I dunno what the hell I'm going to do with this thing. Waste of 10 bucks??

 

wheel chock? paperweight? ashtray? pencil holder? home defense weapon?

 

I was wondering why a 1975 carburetor and a 1974 carburetor are so different?

Here are some pics of the 74.

 

and the 75

 

Any chance you could tell me the numbers for a 74 Hurst Olds V code 455 TH400 A/T?
I'm tryin to help someone find an original carburetor for the car.
