I have an 80 L82 Auto with electric choke. Running poorly and unfixable.

Looking for a 77-80 Qjet that I can buy and send to Lars for a rebuild. Anyone have one of these hanging around collecting dust they want to unload?

 

Check ebay..........I think I saw one on there for an '80 last night. There's a bunch of 'em. Type "quadrajet" and you'll see 2 or 3 pages.

 

I have one from my 1980 L-48. It does need a "Lars" rebuild. I was thinking of putting it on my truck, but shoot me an offer for it.

My nephew has 2 available. He has a 1980 L-82 Automatic. He has the original carb that will need rebuilding and a NOS with only 50 miles on it. If you are interested in either one E-mail me (my E-mail addy is in my profile).

 

Any help you guys can give Bernie (Dk Met Grn) in coming up with a good buildable core at a fair price would be great. The original carb on his '80 has an internal passage defect that has been there since the car was new. From the looks of the carb, other people have tried to solve the problem over the years, and I've given it my best shot - I even stopped by his house in Orlando to try to fix it. Unfortunately, his carb casting cannot be made to run right - we need to help him out in getting his car set up.

Right now, Bernie has Paul Latour's (Canada member) loaner carb on his car, and it's running great. I have the defective original carb on my workbench here in Denver. If anyone has a good 1980 (preferable) core (or anything from '77-'80), I'm going to rebuild it at no cost, transfer some of the new parts off the defective '80 carb into the new builder, and get it set up and running right for him - we can't have Bernie driving a nice Vette that's not running right. If you can give Bernie a good deal on a buildable carb, you can send the carb directly to me for the rebuild and setup. Bernie and I will keep you posted on the project...

 

Try these ( e-bay) #2466331319 #2466330633 #247196563 (rebuilt 1980 auto) :cheers:

 

I have a '77 and '79 (I think I'm keeping this one though), both rebuilt by Lars, and also a core from an '80 that I bought from ebay. Let me know if your interested.

 

I have two or three in my garage that will fit the bill. Let me know if you want one. You can have it for the cost of shipping.

 

If all these offers fail, I have an Edelbrock 1903 QJet I'll be unloading after Lars rebuilds my original carb. It only has about 5,000 miles on it, but the throttle arm will have to be replaced because it was cut for a TV cable adapter (methinks you already have one of those...)

 

Thanks guys for all of the great offers! I got an email from a new member who lives in Florida and has a 1980 L82 Qjet that he is willing to give me. It looks like this should be a perfect match. I will let everyone know how it works out.

 

I have two Q-jets that I have had for years. How do you tell what vintage they are?

 

post the number stamped verticly above the secondary throttle on the drivers side :chevy

 

Can't clearly read the first 4 numbers but this is what I see: 17037230 and 3226ARF (not sure about the "R" could be an "F".

 

carbs #s ending in 230 are caddy carbs. the 170 is correct but 3 is not. :chevy
