carb
« on: September 28, 2008, 11:50:09 am »
are quadrajets that came off of 305s the same as the one on the 350? Also are there noticeable mileage gains using one of those over an edelbrock?


And another question to throw in. Theres a guy wanting to buy a back bumper from an 86 K5 blazer from me anyone know how much its worth? Would it be worth trading it for a used but running quadrajet?

They are basically the same. Higher CFM ratings and different calibrations are the main differences. Quadrajets don't get the greatest fuel economy unless you really fine tune them which takes a lot of trial and error.

The Edelbrock AFB carbs are nice n easy to tune and don't require major disassembly to try different combinations.

Edit* Oops I thought you said bumper jack lol

 I would trade it for a good Q-jet.
