I bought some metering rods from them awhile back some was new stuff,some was nice clean old stuff. Some was packaged by P/N and some by size . Was all good stuff though.

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

Thanks, but what company did you buy from ?.....

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

I have dealt with quadrajetparts.com, not for my racecar, but for a 40 year old quadrajet on my '80 Blazer.
I was very pleased with the experience and would deal with them again in a heartbeat.
Hope that helps.

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

if memory serves.....we got them on E Bay from Ninja Fuel systems or
Quadrajet.com. They did not seem to vary any more in flow than OEM jets.

We ran a 86 Mopar with a Quad ten years ago.

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

That ‘86 MOPAR didn’t come with a Thermoquad? I used to work on those too. Part black plastic. Made by Carter.

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

Yes. I have bought secondary metering rods from them. Prompt delivery and parts were as described.

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

No Sir.......I do know what a Thermoquad looks like as I currently own
over 250 of them and race Six Stock and Superstock cars of my own
with them (We will have four at Winters of our personal cars this week= Two SS/KA, I/SA,
N/SA).

My 86 360 Dodge Truck (Former Nat'l Record Holder) ran one sometimes.
Both brands were legal on that year at same HP

The 318 also often came with Qjet in that time period AND it is popular still with
318 GT racers who can claim it ( I have a dozen correct # ones). However, Last time I checked it was factored 4HP more than Thermoquad in GT.

No disrespect intended.....You know a lot more about racing than I ever
will and I enjoy your posts enormously!

Sorry... Quadrajetparts.com

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

I’m sorry, John. I don’t recall a MOPAR through my shop with a Quadrajet. Maybe it was “a California thing”? Due to their emissions restrictions, I saw a lot of California vehicles come through with different carburetors, etc. Certainly had much less spark advance. Very different advance curves in their distributors. Much of my business in the late ‘60s & ‘70s was “re-curving” distributors for performance & gas mileage. Very easy to pick up a CA vehicle 5 mpg. Taking away spark advance to lower HC emissions was a very common thing. That also kills drivability, power and gas mileage. There was a big fire at the plant where Rochester built carburetors, so GM had Carter build Quadra jets for a while. Carter would likely be the source for Q-Jets for MOPAR. Hard for me to imagine GM providing carbs to MOPAR. Old as I am, I have not seen everything.

I always wondered why Carter built so many Quadrajets for Delco Rochester.

[QUOTE=Jim Kaekel;607674]The instructor at the GM Training Center, in Oklahoma City, told me about the fire.

I think it was '70 429 Cobra Jets that had a Q-Jet, too. Not sure what the SCJ had. Holley?

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

they do not make the 1901 any more

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

True, and you don't have to use it..Also true ;-)

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

I have 1901/02/03/04/05/06 Qjets sitting around

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

Dave Gantz, 429 CJ had Qjet and SCJ had a funky Holley on them. I have a 1970 Cobra SCJ sitting in the shop right now waiting for the owner to come up with the correct carb. The feed line from front to back is different from most.

Re: Need main jets for Q jet...
 

Ford 460 Lincoln’s in California had a Cater Thermo Quad. Have one in my atic.
