'81 305 stock carb
« on: October 07, 2008, 07:40:47 PM »
I can't find an answer to my question anywhere. Is the stock 4bbl carb on a 1981 305 square or spread bore?

Quadrajets are spread bore.

Holley's are square bore.

You should have a Q-Jet

Not all holleys are squarebore. In fact, they made a ton of spreadbores.

The factory carb should be a spreadbore qjet from 1981 but it may have been changed before you got it.

Thanks guys. I assume it is a spread bore then. It is a Rochester Qjet.
