Q/Jet Question
I took the 69 to the quardajet guru. After he looked at it, he told me that is not the right carburetor for the car. It seems it's from an 86 or 84 , (can't remember which), Chevy. He reckoned the newer carbs aren't as good as the older ones. He also told me that it has been messed with, efforts made to increase the performance. Not totally sure what he meant by that. We will have to see what happens. Any thoughts on this. Thanks

Here's a listing of the correct 1968-1970 carb numbers.

Cliff Ruggles, the guy who literal wrote the book on quadrajets prefers the 1705 series carbs from the late 70 and early eighties with modified idle circuits and metering rods for performance builds. They later eighties computer controlled carbs are not ideal however. Depending on the number that carb may not be correct but it might work really well if tuned correctly. You can call Cliff and give him the carb number and your engine specs and he can recommend a tuning package for your application. He also sells quality parts and a good price.
