Duel Power Piston

(1/2) > >>

lightning boy:
I have a Qjet from a 74 Pontiac that has the aneroid valve in the front with two power pistons. One controlling the primary metering rods, and another controlling an additional rod.
I have never worked on one of these before. What were they for and can they be modified for street use?

Cliff Ruggles:
Pontiac carburetors didn't use that arrangement.

What is the carburetor part number?

lightning boy:
It's a 7045184

Cliff Ruggles:
Without taking the time to look it up I'm pretty sure that's an Oldsmobile Q-jet, not one from a Pontiac engine.....

Burd:
My carb booth says Old’s, 1975, 455, w/ AC, delta, cutlass, ambulance, and hearse or Hurst for the dummy’s that say that.
