What did they DO to this poor H/O carb?

Blocked the secondaries, and made it into a Hot Air Choke 260 carb?

REALLY?!?!

joe_padavano

Sure looks like a fabricated 260 carb. I've actually been looking for one of the original 260 Dual Jets with the secondaries cast closed as a conversation piece.

Octania

Get two
put 'em on that cross ram dual quad intake.

pogo69

even worse...the price on it

joe_padavano

Thereby creating an intake system nearly as bad as the original Cross Fire TBI setup on the 83 Corvettes...

hey

don't be disrespecting my [kid's] Corvette!

I have one of these carbs that looks like a Quad but where the secondaries should be is solid cast on top but open below that. It is not a blockoff plate like the one in the Ebay ad above. I always wondered what this carb came off of. I had showed it to several guys and nobody new what it came off of.

It's an abomination is what it is. BURN THE WITCH!

On my 260, they just had a different hat that said "dualjet" on it in the place of the secondary choke, completely left out the butterflies. Joe, I'm sorry, but that carb made it to the scrap pile almost 10 years ago...haha

joe_padavano

Good choice - not fast enough to get him into trouble...

Octania

laughed at that one

No, the stamp and it looks like the throttle arm [short cable peg] and maybe the entire base are still '68 H/O compatible.

Resurrect it with proper parts into a real 7028251.

Not at $350 for a parts carb though.

Oh, and NOS is -not- the same as rebuilt by Delco/ Frankencarb.

I have 1 or two of these cores - the original faux 4-bbl- in the stash. Came on the first 260's I believe- on the A1 or A2 intake.

See intake pix thread here for details.

Frankencarb, that's a good one!

I've seen plenty of dualjets but never a quadrajet that's not a quadrajet.

7028251 ? Am I reading that right? 1968 what the heck?

joe_padavano

Then you've apparently never seen one of the original DualJet carbs used on the 1975-ish 260 motors. They were full size Qjet castings, but on the air horn the holes for the secondary air valves were blanked off and the secondary throttle plates and metering system were left out. This was later simplified to the primary side of a Qjet hacked off on it's own, as you've likely seen in the later DualJets.



Which was Chris' whole point for starting this thread. Some nimrod apparently took a valuable carb core and bastardized it into an early DualJet.

I'm allways learning thanks.

I have one of those lurking in my basement...

also used on the "powerhouse" poncho 301...
it's a cardone rebuilt, not acdelco, they were hack-jobs, at best
