Carter (69?) Qjet with no markings

Smith74:
ok

So I'm on a quest to find a mid to late 70s qjet....  with an electric or manual choke?

I don't know much about carbs, so I'm assuming the one I have is a manual...since I don't see any wires that went to it.

i prefer  to go 77 or newer , hot air or electric is fine because you will want to convert to electric and its easy to convert . 75 or 76 have some funky extra metering rod that you can plug , not worth your time when you can buy something that will be easy for you to start with. if you don't have buy cliffs book and read it a few times to understand what makes what tick and make very small adjustments when you get close . a lithe goes a long way on certain systems. hth

Cliff Ruggles:
The carb you have now is a "divorced" choke model, choke coil was mounted on the intake, not on the carb.

The later hot-air units convert to electric easily, and are better made carbs and quite "universal" once converted to e-choke.

I would avoid starting with anything commercially "remanufactured", more often than not they are a "Frankenstein" for parts and "hacked" up internally.  I do this for a living, and avoid them like the plague!.......Cliff

 Just post the carb number and photo of carb on here and we will let you know what you have. Like Cliff said, AVOID AT ALL COST the remanufactured Qjets. :)
