Hi, New to this site. Just got a 70 w-30.
The choke butterfly was removed...dose anyone have any pics of the stock unit? Once the car warms up, its great.

 

i dont have any pics for you but i have a 71 or 72 qjet for parts you can have the butterfly from. jc

 

Do you need the shaft and linkage bits or just the plate itself? There are a small handful of different choke plate styles for Qjets, but most early Olds Qjets are good donors. Be aware that the screws have staked ends and will break if you try to unscrew them. You need to carefully grind or file the staking off the ends of the screws before backing them out. Also note that the Olds carbs used a choke lockout lever that extended from the air horn when the choke is closed to hold the secondary air valves closed also.

This vendor sells used Qjet choke plates, shafts, etc, but frankly it will be cheaper to buy a complete parts carb.

Here's a picture of the secondary lockout:

 

Thanks guys!
The car is getting painted, so ill have to look at it next time im over there.
I have a feeling ill have to get a parts carb, its missing the cable to the interior also.

 

What cable?

 

the throttle cable ? That's not part of the carb.

from altering a BUNCH of these I recall one big diff on the choke shaft- whether the RH actuating link is smished in place as seen above on the divorced choke carb, or if it is held to the choke shaft by a screw. The two are not interchangeable.

I suggest a complete parts carb and use the entire top, called the air horn. Or get a new air horn if possible.

Do you know the number of the carb you are reviving?

 

I have this top piece if you can use it, $50 shipped.

 

Tnx. Its the original w30 auto carb

 

Pictured in post #7 is the type that has a choke link attached with a screw on the RH end.

 

Thanks, didnt know aboutthe screws would break
