olds75cutlass

I have a 1975 cutlass with the original 350 rocket inside with the rodchester 4barrel carb. But I think the carb is killing me. When I punch the gas pedeal, it may burn out or choke out depends on how she feels that day. Need someone to recommend if I should go with a holly or just get mine rebuilt? Maybe if anyone is in Georgia they can recommend someoone.

Sounds like the carb, all right. Forget a Holley...ya can't beat the QJet. Contact Dan Sarvis wblue70@aol.com . He's an Olds man and he'll do ya right.

Thanks for the responce! Does the guy you gave me the email address to, about the carb live in Atlanta? If he does. I will contact him and see what solution he has for me!

texasred

Nope...San Antonio, Texas. He does a lot of carbs through the mail, though.

did i just see someone say you can't bet a Q-Jet???? Quadra-bog....... great for fuel milage, and work good for a factory carb, but tuning wise the rot.

Didn't see this earlier...

Joel, you are just hanging around the wrong people. The above-mentioned Dan Sarvis pilots a 70 442 W-30 with unported cast iron heads and a QUADRAJET to mid 11s. And that's in the 1/4, not the 1/8.

Jets and metering rods, my friend...jets and metering rods.

Quadrabog? I'm with tex on this one, I'd take a q-jet over a holly anyday.
but i guess everyone has an opionion

I've been told that Holleys are a better strip track carb namely because they have primary and secondaries of the same diameter allowing for a more powerful top end. Rochesters, having smaller primaries that secondaries, are better for the street. Rochee's offer better fuel economy, better low end, and flatter torque curves. Like texasred said, its all in the tuning. Jetting and rods can change the characteristics of either for a given application. Its just a matter of where you loyalty lies....

Yeah,
I guess i cant argue that one, ha ha. I have to agree with you

Quads seem really complicated until you get to know them but can be tuned imo to a better degree than a holley. I've had many of both and I like the street/strip aspect of the quad. Just my 2 cents.
