hi, just wondering about peoples experiences with the edelbrock quadrajets
i normally like to buy something new over s/h or "recoe'd" and i see that they are for sale for a bit more than the price of a rebuild
they come in 4 sizes, 500,600,750 and 800 cfm at WIDOWMAKER
so i'm guessing that the 1 for a 308 or 350 would be the 750
like to hear your opinions please
yes sonny, it's an HQ ute |

I have a 600 performer on a mild 318 in a VG valiant and it has been really good. The car goes good and I have not had a problem in 3 years. It has an electronic choke and starts 1st time every time.

Rochester got Carter to build some Rochester Q-Jets for them in the late 60's and 70's.
