Just got the original carburetor parts back from Sparky’s carbs.

So any idea what the cfm is of the o.e. carbs?

Maybe….Still waiting to hear back from seller on ebay.

That sucks. Do you think it happened in shipping?

So I just received my air cleaner……..Notice anything? Look close and you see broken welds

Thanks Jim….

Here are the carb numbers for 1962 and 1963 4GC carbs. All F-85 Cutlass for either year should be using 4GC carbs. In looking for a carb for your 62, I would go for the 1963, part# 7023054 if not then the 1962 part# 7022752

So in looking on line for the correct carb, I see that there were serveral variations of the 4GC for 1962. To make sure I am getting the correct carb, do they interchange? I have seen several but they are for chevys.

The cheezy adapter plate should be your first clue that the Qjet is not factory. The fact that the Qjet didn’t exist until the 1966 model year (for Oldsmobile) should be your second clue.

Doesn’t anyone read the factory service manual?

Rochester Products division of GM, Quadrajet carbs were 1st introduced in 1965. If you have a Qjet carb on your 215 V-8, it is NOT stock, as issued. The 1961-63’s were all 2GC or 4GC carbs except Jetfire with the 1bbl RC carb. If you want to go stock you should be looking for a 4GC and linkage.

As far as I know this is the original qjet carb…..Anyone have an extra ?

Here is the stock linkage set-up for a factory 2GC, 4GC and the RC carbs.If you go to an aftermarket carb, you will have to make your own linkage to accomplish the same function.

Here’s my home-made linkage for the E-brock.

First, that “glop” is on the throttle linkage, not the TV linkage. Second, the linkage is hosed because whoever swapped in that Qjet apparently only knew how to use a torch and a sledge hammer. The stock linkage isn’t going to do you any good with a Qjet. I had to fabricate my own linkage when I did the E-brock swap. Adjusting the TV linkage took…[Read more]

I dont know. Anyone…?

is it the same for a 63? if so I should have it.

See the glop of what looks like jb weld?
