What carb should I use?

(1/3) > >>

Sigforty:
I am trying to determine out of 3 quadrajets I have, if any one is a better choice to rebuild.  The numbers on them are as follows:

7040511

7045583

17058212

Welcome to CHP!

I would also recommend the 17058212.

What reasons is that one a better carb?

   First, those "late" model quadrajets have what they call APT (adjustable part throttle), have a better casting, are less prone to leaking by the bottom plugs, just plain better.  What is going to be your application ?  I strongly recommend buying Cliff's book...that will be one of the best tools you ever bought.  Frank.
