It's a spreadbore replacement for a quadrajet. If you look at the front of the air horn on the left side (throttle) you'll find a number just below the choke opening. Usually starts with a 0-0000. You can do a google search with that number and determine what size and application the carb is for. A common universal 650 cfm spreadbore is the 0-6210 as an example.
Yes guys I know its an Holley and the seller says its model is 70Q02-1 but I found no reference of this model around.... I've seen its a speadbore, maybe the 0-80555C???
What about its aspect? I would like to go to look at it, what should I look for in order to udnerstand if it's worth buying it?
Do you have a picture of the number you could post? Sounds like it's a factory installed carb versus an over the counter replacement but you never know
The list number is the one you need. You might want to email Holley and give them that number and they should be able to give you the correct specs for it.
Every indication is it's a 650 cfm vacuum secondary. I saw one thread where a guy said he took this model and List number off of a 396 Chevelle but he didn't state it was original to the car.

Holley List Number 7002-1 is a model 4175 Spreadbore Q-Jet replacement carb that is emissions-legal in California. It's 650 cfm, but it's jetted very lean for most performance applications. It uses a primary metering block, but has a seoncary metering plate, limiting its tunability on the secondary side. It also uses the big, stiff "black" secondary spring, which will prevent the secondaries from coming anywhere close to fully open, even at WOT. The carb can be set up to run well, but it will need some thoughtful tuning to reach its real potential.

Holley 4165 and 4175 spreadbore carbs were never used as an OEM carb by GM.

Lars,
good to see you back to the forum!
Can I reuse the fuel line of the Qjet?
Can I change jet and secondary spring?
By the way I've a stock SB and a original Qjet which seems to flood...

If you have the original Q-Jet, fix it.
The Holley can be tuned and set up to run well, but you're a heckuva lot better off fixing the original carb.
Yes, the oriignal fuel line will mate with the Holley with minor bending and tweaking. The Holley also is not likely to have all the vacuum hose provisions of your original carb.
The Holley rebuild kit will run you about $90 compared to the Q-Jet kit at $35, so you'll be dumping more money into a carb which will require significantly more tuning and setup work than the original carb.

Thats not what I want to hear.
I have this carb and while tuning it, just now finding this out. Wish now I would have gone to mechanical secondary carb.

Lars,
I have already rebuilt the Qjet (it's the first time for me so maybe I got something wrong, even if it was very fun...) and I noticed the horn is a bit bended (about 1mm in the middle). Trying to fix a bended horn seems to me quite difficult, maybe try to find a good one somewhere... what do you think? do I have to find the same year model? I've a 7044207 SN... Thanks
