General Category > Quadrajet Carb Talk and Tips
Is this Rochester worth anything?
carmantx:
It's a 73 Olds 455 with auto trans. Olds had may ending in odd numbers for automatics.
Olds also kept old Quadrajet design for many years and didn't move to the newer float position and size like others did in 69-70. This carb is good for Olds people though.
I would be interested in it if you are selling. Always looking for good cores of all types.
Cliff Ruggles:
The Oldsmobile carburetors from 1970-74 were hot-air choke, and all of them are basically the same. They are the smaller "750" cfm castings, but also continued to use the early large float/hinge pin arrangement.
I tend to avoid them for serious high performance use, but they are nice units and w/o much trouble will support decent power and do a fine job of powering most well thought out street engines.
They have very little core value unless you have one of the W-30 variety, and we get very few calls to the shop for them.......Cliff

Interesting - I have never come across this.

I bought it for the fuel bowl vent parts on the front of the airhorn - that's it.
If you want it, PM me, I can box it up... hopefully i have an appropriate sized box somewhere.
If I don't keep it together I'll take off bits for my stash of 702xxxx/704xxxx carbs that I have going.

I have a good supply of them, they are very slow movers here....tks...Cliff
