Title: Mopar Qjets
Post by: Marx3 on June 24, 2013, 12:39:21 AM

HI, I was wondering, what numbers do the Qjets used by Mopar have? Over how many years did they use the Qjet, and why? I guess because of thigtening emissions?

I think they were made from about '83 to 86.

Yeah thats how far I have gotten too. Do you know how to identify a Mopar unit from the number?

 Yeah, early to late '80s is ones I see as well. Not sure about there part number though. The ones I have seen, look like any GM Quadrajet you see. ???

I have a non-molested 17085409. 1984 Mopar 360 V-8.  Looks identical to the 17083231 ('83 Chevy truck) I have except the Mopar carb has the anti-dieseling solenoid and a different throttle lever.

In my MOPAR Factory Service Manual for 1986 trucks, the vendor number for QJ's are as follows

17085408
17085409
17085417
17085425
17085431
17085434

not 100% sure the vendor numbers correspond to the number on QJ main body but its a good guess!


Cheers

Chris

What really sets the 1980's Mopar Q-jets apart from the Chevy's, are the linkage.  Vastly different and most have the attachment points for the Torquflight transmission downshift components.....Cliff
