Here's a super nice QuadraJet that I removed from a 1970 Buick 455.  The numbers (7040240) indicate that it was produced for a 1970 Buick 455 engine. . Of course it can be used with any BOP manifold that requires a spreadbore QJ.  Many years of cars for this one too.  This is one of the more desirable carbs with the front inlet applications.   It is rare and valuable carburetor..


This is a really nice carburetor, but some idiot sprayed it with silver or grey paint, some of which came off when I sprayed carb cleaner on it.  I decided  it was still worth removing from the junkyard.  The winning bidder should soak this in a bucket of carb cleaner to remove the remaining paint.  This one comes with the divorced choke, used from 68-72, the intake warm-up coil and intake manifold plate to get the choke to open properly. It's all there!!  

There's nothing wrong with this carburetor other than it is ugly and that is only due to the paint that the village idiot put on it.  Once the carb is stripped it will be a very good Q-jet for someone.  It's the 1970, 455, Buick GS carb for crying out loud.  It cost me $65 to get it out of the junkyard and now I'm not going to use it.  I am only trying to get back what I have into it.  
 
All of the throttle plates move, as they should, the linkage seems fine and it looks nice.    Don't know how long it has been out of service, but it is good candidate for a driver or performance build.

The buyer pays the shipping, $20 for USPS Priority Mail, I will insure this and package well. The reserve is built into the opening bid, so no reserve auction.  I will answer questions and can send larger pics by email, send the request to 951 415 6311, with your electronic mail address.  If you need the webpage, to research the numbers, just ask.

Payment is by PayPal, happy bidding, don't get sniped.  Intended for US shipping only.

Fri, 09 May 2014

SAIC has announced its second university student design competition. To be in with a shout, SAIC wants students to design a dream sports car or GT car for the MG brand to be launched in 2025. The brief asks for a concept that must not only must reference MG's history – 2014 is the firm's 90th anniversary – but that also reflects China's post-90s generation.

Hennessey opens up the LS9-powered Camaro

Wed, 06 Oct 2010

Hennessey Performance is introducing a convertible version of its limited-edition 2011 HPE700 Camaro. The tuning company will produce just 24 copies of the 2011 HPE700 Camaro, but it hasn't revealed how many will be hardtops or convertibles. “We have already sold several of our 2011 HPE700s in hardtop form, increasing the potential for the convertible LS9 Camaro to become an even rarer option than before,” said John Hennessey, president of Hennessey Performance.

Augmented reality application streamlines home car maintenance

Thu, 30 May 2013

The basic home motor-oil swap is about to get a lot more futuristic -- at least if the augmented reality application being developed by AR-media goes anywhere. AR-media's app uses a tablet's camera to position guides and instructions over a car's engine bay in real time. It sounds complicated, but it appears to be relatively seamless in action.
