i go to get a new q-jet because the one that came with my motor (used) is trashed! the guy at auto zone showed me the edelbrok and the holly. theyr both junk from what the search button told me!

then i saw someone said to just get a basic 99$ auto zone q-jet. please lemme in on this! i just want way basic. manual choke...no smog. ya know? what/where can i get one of these STOCK! ...... not aftermarket edel or holly ones?! and i looked into having it rebuild, i need the new diaphram and stuff cause it melted!! so it would be like 300 some carb shop said!!! fawk that!

Autozone or Kragen if you want to go through 4 or 5 to find a good one :D I have a buddy that every time he buys one of the rebuilds from Kragen he usually goes through 4 or 5 untill he gets one that works right. Personally I would spend the money and buy an Edelbrock Q-jet they are new not rebuilt.

There is a place in Pittsburg Ca. that sells remanufatured carbs, RECARBCO I think is the name. Last time I checked they had quads on sale for around $120. Never got one, so I'm not sure how good the quality is, but they say they flow test them after overhaul....
I have never seen a quad for sale a Kragens or autozone that wasn't at least $300.
I have gotten carbs from Big A, and I had to go through 3 before I got a good one....it lasted about a year, and it was rebuild time again....:skull:

What is it going on? I ordered a brand new quadrajet from Summit, the Edelbrock 1903 i believe. I have had no problems with it. Runs good. It is brand new, not rebuilt, I think the ones that autozone has are performers not quadrajets there is a difference and the performers are not good on 4x4s. I paid 416 for my carb including shipping and got 90 days same as cash from Summit.

Where in Carmichael are you? I'm over off Madison/I-80. What kind of truck do you have?
