I have been looking for a 7040251 on-line for a while now without tracking one down. I am looking for a solid / complete core good for a simple rebuild (cleaning/gaskets/bushings). I don't want to spend a fortune like eB@y seems to want. I want to replace my Holley with a nice QJ. I have an aftermrket intake so the '68/69 with the divorced choke is not an option. Let me know what you have. If you have a core or one that could be bolted on I would be interested. Shipping to 22101.

You can PM me or email at arodenhiser@verizion.net if you don't want your pricing public.

Thanks

pm 507olds he has a bunch of carbs he sent me a beautiful 7040251!!!!!! he very honest

What do you carb guru's think of a 7043250, a '73 350 auto carb? It is a 4MV a I think it should be the higher cfm carb than the '68. Would this a reasonable canidate for a lightly upgraded 350sb? Thanks for any opinions.

73 up carbs are EGR carbs(not as good as pre EGR)

You are really not going to get anymore cfm out of any of those.The myth about the caddys & buicks having 800's is false too.They don't begin to spin fast enough to need a bigger carb like that.Of course,you can always flow them,& that will prove it too.
Just tune the carb properly.You might want to talk to someone like Smitty at M&J Proformance.He is very good with the Q-jets.He runs 10:40's in is 67 455 Cutlass with one.

as sx455raidercelticfan suggested earlier..... do you have anything that might do the trick. I am a night and weekend driver, not racing. I have a manual choke(not hooked up) 650 holley on it now that was on it in 1998 when I bought the car. It needs rebiult and choke kit. I would rather return to a comparable q-jet. I want a solid non divorced choke core (complete and moving) to rebuild myself. I originally wanted a BB carb since I have pipe dreams of a 455 someday. That now seems really far away with the overbuget rebuild of the body. If a core a kit costs me more that $250/300 i would rather just buy a reman from summit. But then I will lose the fun of doing it myself.

What do you think? Online I am looking at the Holley Reman 64-7249 which they list as a 4MC for the '70 350 or 455 in any model without a W package. Would I be making a mistake by buying this. I am not concerned about keeping it completely original. The percieved better economy is a plus too.

I've been using United Carburetor in Chicago since the '70's, and never had a problem!
They'll go the 'extra mile' to make you happy,which went away with self-serve gas!
Reasonable, and they do ship!

I have a 70 350 Olds Q-jet that is disassembled,and I have a mid-70's Chevy Q-jet that is together.If you want to tinker with eithet one of these,let me know.I might have something else,but need to look more.

Thanks for all the advice, offers. I finally picked up a recently (18 months) rebuilt 7042251 for $75. I saw it on a running 400 in a Firebird. I will let you know how it turns out.
