Need help from Lars
I need a Q-jet for my 80, I found one that came off a 76. The problem is it has the old choke set up fron the manifold,and I need the electric choke. I was told that I can remove my el. choke and install it on the 76 carb. the # on the 76 is 17056207 Can you tell me if it can be done and if the 76 carb will be ok for my car. It is a 80 350 with hedders, I got it used so I am not sure if it is stock. It does seam to be stock. With your knowledge of Q jets you are the only one that may have the answer.
Your advice will be a great help to me thanks
Joe.

I spoke with Lars recently about something very similar to this recently. He informed me that the electric choke is a direct swap.
For more information on the differences between the two carbs you can look at the chart in Lars QJet paper.
