Default looking for a carb!? help!!!

ive got a 68 vette with a 350, it had a holley carb with an edelbrock intake, i took it off and put a stock intake on and im looking for a quadjet carb to put back on it. the numbers are all matching now i just need the stock carb and as i understand, thats what they had. does anyone know of where i can find one, or does someone have one they are willing to sell me.

If you have a '68, it should have a 327 engine, not a 350. I don't have a carb, but here are the correct Quadrajet numbers for your car, depending on how your car is equipped:

#7028207 - 327/300hp, manual transmission
#7028208 - 327/300hp, automatic transmission
#7028219 - 327/350hp, manual transmission

If your car has an incorrect engine, I wouldn't worry about being correct otherwise...just build it the way you want. Correct appearance is fine but it's not gonna gain you much, if any value.

Since your car/engine combo is not original or stock (350), I wouldn't be concerned about getting a '68 Q-Jet. The Q-Jets up through '74 will all interchange with the '68, and look virtually identical. The '68 Q-Jet has some problems due to the float design and the hinge pin design, and finding a good carb with castings that are in good condition (not warped) may be a challenge. The 1970-1974 carbs are actually better quality carbs, yet look almost the same. Here is a listing of all the carbs you have to choose from:

My Q-jet is off my 79 4sp car. Numbers won't match but if you need a great running q-jet pm me I'm selling it and my old performer intake.
