Title: WTB: 600 CFM 4bbl for '68 Buick 350 (hopefully in Minneapolis/St. Paul)
Post by: Rickesota on March 20, 2017, 05:06:56 PM
Hello,

I just picked up a cast iron 4bbl manifold from a '71 350 for my '68 motor. Now I just need a carb. Anything gathering dust on your shelves out there - preferably with an electric choke???

Thanks!

Rick

Rick, I have a couple of miscellaneous AFBs laying around.  Both in nice shape.  I'll bet the 68 runs Quadrajet, right?  I've got one of those as well, but from a 70's car.

Hi again!

I'll keep you posted. Another buddy may have come through with a free Q-jet. If not, I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks!!!

The Quadrajet is one of the best designed carburetors that ever existed, so that should make your car happy, and you can't beat free!  :laughing7:

Let us know!

Cheers, Edouard

Just make sure you have the correct intake manifold for it.  AFB = Square bore, Q-Jet = Spread bore.  Some aftermarket manifolds have provisions for both.

It's a spread bore for sure.

Thanks!
