In piling through my spares today, I found a Quadrajet
7043254
It came off my parts coach (a 1975)
I’m guessing from the bar codes on it, it was rebuilt about a decade ago.
I recall that it ran well.
PM me for more info.

Thanks for confirming that it’s a wonderful rebuildable core for someone who needs one, Bob.
Your positive comments are always appreciated.

Just by installing a carb kit is not the same as a true rebuilt unit like
the Springfield unit we sell.

And your site does not say the credit for a rebuildable core, which in fact is what I’m offering for the cost of shipping.
So you have set the value of said core which is ????

You can always read the spark plugs to see if the mixture is too lean.

Our new web site was done so fast, there are lot of problems still not
fixed.
Low budget operation is the problem.
Thanks for the heads up.
