Carter Qjet

[Jesse Knapp]

I am going to type a paragraph from my book regarding the reason GMC made this deal with Carter. The title is: Carter- built Rochester 4-barrel carburetors. "Although it may seem strange, Carter actually built a select group of Rochester carburetors. The reason is simple: General Motors needed a second source from which to buy in case of a Rochester strike. Carter also built carburetors for many other GM divisions. It is interesting that Carter built only the Quadrajet.The following listing is to date the only complete listing for all Carter- built Chevrolet carburetors. All Carter-built Quadrajets will have "MFG by Carter" cast into the carburetor body." The listing actually shows that in 1965 they came on passenger cars with the 396/325 early and late editions with automatic and standard trans. In 1966 they expanded to the smallblock 327/275 and also the 427/390. 1967 had the 427/385 and the 350/295 included. In 1968 they came on the 327/250 as well. It goes on and on.. An interesting topic. I'm glad I have one.

I had a 68 Pontiac with a 396 (that really mesured as a 402) and a Carter Q jet . A factory Canadian car.
