Default Q-Jet Question

What is the difference in the Quadrajet carbs that are designated for manual transmissions? Last number odd or even.

Thanks
Bill

Manual trans carbs end in an odd number. The only real difference is that the auto trans carbs have provision on the throttle lever for the kickdown cable, and they have provision for modulator vacuum line on some years. Occasionally, there is a very slight jetting difference, but most years are identical. The carbs are generally interchangeable.
