1972 350 rocket. Has factory ac. Comes with Trans. Not sure on miles.spedo is gone. But it did run very good. $400.00 or best offer. Davenport ia

 

Location would help.

 

x2 for location.

 

Sorry davenport ia

 

Block # and head # would help as well.

 

would love to see pictures, interested in the carb if parting out is an option at some point.

 

If parted out i would be intrested in just the complete long block with the intake if its a 4bbl. I like trades so if you need something got plenty of stuff around here i dont need. I got cams , drag radials on centerlines , traction bars etc etc.

 

thanks copper. I really at this point need a good quadrajet to replace mine. I'm told a gently used or rebuildable Edelbrock should suffice.

 

I would shy away from Edelbrock. I've spent a lot of time tuning and fiddling with them, and they are very temperamental. Depending on your motor and what you're looking for, Q-jet is a wayyy better carb.

 

I would buy the air cleaner if you would sell it to me. Thanks

 

Believe me, if I could find a q-jet in good condition for a decent price, I would rather get that. I've had a few people recommend the Edelbrock though. Thanks for the tip.

 

I found a decent one from somebody on this forum and had this guy rebulid it.

Seems to really know what he is doing.
I think he may have some cores, too....worth asking...

 

thanks DDD. I got a rebuild kit from them and bought the book by Cliff. They really are very helpful, but my understanding was they will rebuild what you have, or what I have, not that they sell rebuilds off the shelf. My carb isn't really worth saving as far as I can tell.
Thanks though.

P.S. There's also at least a 12 month waiting period....

 

It did indeed take him a long time to rebuild mine....

put up a "parts wanted" post (you probably already have one) and be patient - it took me a couple of months....somebody has one. i also did a "saved search" on ebay with the part number (7042250?) they come up now an again for decent prices (and sometime for ridiculous)
does this one fir the bill?

ddd777: thanks for the help. That particular one doesn't look too good to my untrained eye. I will probably go with the custom rebuilt place if the price and quality seems reasonable.
