I could use some carburetor ideas.
I picked up 2 Qjets this past weekend. They are both 1975 350 olds carbs.
I have no idea why these things have the regular power piston and rods,
AND 2 extra rods without removable jets. One rod is on an adjustable cylinder about 7/8'' wide, and the other looks like a regular primary power piston, except with one of the rod bosses cut off.
These things are weird. they Also have 67 jets in them.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Has anyone ever modified one of these 75's to work like the oldies'?
I made a round of phone calls to the usual neighborhood auto joes, and they all thought I was describing a U.F.O.

My brother's 75 H/O came with what he called an "altitude compensating" carburetor. I haven't looked closely at it, as it has never given any trouble. He drove it about 190k before he parked it.

auxiliary metering system, and the altitude compensation (aneroid device) to make the carb. work properly. try not to do anything non-reversible to it.

Thank you Mr. Demmer. I found these 2 articles on this.

Both carbs are in decent shape, but there is a thin metal tab where the accelerator pump shaft goes through the air horn that has been damaged, and a metal plug rattling around underneath an access plate in front of it.
I want to just make them functional and drag strip adjustable again.
These were old student carburetors from a local high school. The new tech teacher, (a local gar guy I trade parts with) saved them for me when the school was throwing out all the old education program's carbs. (He's a fuel injection only guy)
The school threw out a whole cabinet full of all types of old carbs, and he only saved me this junk![Frown](https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Oh well, it's the thought that counts. I couldn't yell at him.

Basically, I'm trying to have 6 or 7 carbs with different rod/jet setups for tuning at the track. I'm going to wire up the secondary locks, and tune for best primary jet times. The secondarys are easy to tune. 1 screw, lol.

F.Y.I.
These things have a unique power piston setup too![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
The primary piston doesn't have a nipple seat like the 68-74 style.
These just have a cup with no lower boss, and are shorter. I may not even be able to swap any primary rods now.
