Here's a super nice QuadraJet that I removed from a 1970 Buick 455.  The numbers (7040240) indicate that it was produced for a 1970 Buick 455 engine. . Of course it can be used with any BOP manifold that requires a spreadbore QJ.  Many years of cars for this one too.  This is one of the more desirable carbs with the front inlet applications.   It is rare and valuable carburetor..


This is a really nice carburetor, but some idiot sprayed it with silver or grey paint, some of which came off when I sprayed carb cleaner on it.  I decided  it was still worth removing from the junkyard.  The winning bidder should soak this in a bucket of carb cleaner to remove the remaining paint.  This one comes with the divorced choke, used from 68-72, the intake warm-up coil and intake manifold plate to get the choke to open properly. It's all there!!  

There's nothing wrong with this carburetor other than it is ugly and that is only due to the paint that the village idiot put on it.  Once the carb is stripped it will be a very good Q-jet for someone.  It's the 1970, 455, Buick GS carb for crying out loud.  It cost me $65 to get it out of the junkyard and now I'm not going to use it.  I am only trying to get back what I have into it.  
 
All of the throttle plates move, as they should, the linkage seems fine and it looks nice.    Don't know how long it has been out of service, but it is good candidate for a driver or performance build.

The buyer pays the shipping, $20 for USPS Priority Mail, I will insure this and package well. The reserve is built into the opening bid, so no reserve auction.  I will answer questions and can send larger pics by email, send the request to 951 415 6311, with your electronic mail address.  If you need the webpage, to research the numbers, just ask.

Payment is by PayPal, happy bidding, don't get sniped.  Intended for US shipping only.

XFR Jag the fastest ever

Tue, 13 Jan 2009

They took with them the usual holiday toys, but they remembered to pack a nice new Jaguar XFR, with a few mods necessary to run at Bonneville (roll cage, fire extinguishers, etc). They had a little fiddle with the ECU to derestrict it (and yield 600bhp) but, it is claimed, made no further mods apart from adding a spoiler at the back to stop the XFR taking off on the Salt Flats’ wide open spaces. Jaguar XFR breaks 225mph at Bonneville So what happened?
