Is part number 17080253 an 800 cfm carb?
« on: November 19, 2014, 02:55:21 AM »
Hello All,

I have been trying to find out if this carb 17080253 is good for my new engine build. I currently have a 68 Qjet service replacement on my 68 Firebird's 350, but I am concerned that it won't be able to feed the 400 stroker I am swapping in.

I have Cliff's book and it says the 68s are not the best due to the large float and geometry for the inlet needle, so this is why I am looking at this one. Here's the ad for that carb. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-moteurs/ville-de-montreal/carburateur-quadrajet-4bbl/1008273433?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Thanks! Kyle

 I do not think that is a 800CFM unit. Also, I believe that is a Holley Reman unit. I would stay from it. JMHO. :(
