Eric, hate to be a dick.
Can you go $60 shipped?

nj_cutlass72

do you know a local guy that rebuilds them? any idea for how much.

I may be interested...

ent72olds

Local to you, no. Local to me, there is a guy who has been doing it for as long as I can remember, but I have never used him.

Sorry for my lack of internet savvy but what does ttt mean and bump and any other acronyms mean that I see hear? I see a lot!

ent72olds

It means "to the top".... Bump means the same. Just refreshes the thread when it gets buried.

can you show a pic looking down into the primaries with the choke plate and the throttle plates open? i'd like to see if it is the large CFM carb, i am interested if it is
thanks

The mechanics of it is going to be a 750. The W-30 didn't even have the 800.

naphtali5725

what points to this being a w-30 carb? what do you mean by mechanics...if you have some specific insight to what it came from by looking at pics of the outside i'd like to know cause all i know is how to look at a code
from the code it just shows it is a 72 carb from any oldsmobile, and maybe from a manual transmission...
so it is possible that it is a "bump" 800, simple pic will verify

nothing on the outside. the 2251 in a 72 Oldsmobile 455 carb from any standard 4bbl 455. The W-30 of the same year is more performance and didn't even have the 800. I don't have a 2251 but it should be the same as my 1251 and 0251 and they are both 750.

For the "mechanics" I just mean that just because it is a 750 or an 800 don't mean it is set up to use all the CFM the carb is capable of. There are 750s on cars that only use 600 of it and all sorts of combinations. I am not a q jet expert and i am sure others could explain much better than i can.

Sorry Erik, didn't mean to derail your thread.

naphtali5725

i see, thanks for the info, still curious to see

ent72olds

Not at all Eric, jump in anytime! We all help each other here. I can get some pics today and will post this evening...... Also, Naphtali , thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country!

naphtali5725

ent72olds, was a privilege and an honor.... glad jensenracing77 added the info, just goes to show you there is more info to be considered besides a code

ent72olds

Here you are...

naphtali5725

yeah, it's hard to tell... I can't see close enough from the pics looking down into the primary to see if it has small rings and bumps on the sides of the inlet port
no bumps.. is a 750
800 circled in yellow

Magna86

ent72olds

Erik who do you know in the central NY area that's good with Q-Jets?
Also Im looking for a correct date code 7028251 core for a September built car if anyone has a decent core laying around let me know.

ent72olds

I don't know anyone in the central part of the state, but there is a guy that comes highly recommended here on LI as per my engine builder. I do know he's been around as long as I've been living here and that's 28 yrs....

droldsmorland

Duah I really must be losing it. I looked at LI and thought it was IL which is short for Illion NY which is obviously central NY. Far from LI. Can you forward this carb gurus info? IM it if you dont want to publish.

ent72olds

I will try to get that info and post it here....

Here it is......http://www.allcarbs.com/
