Title: Quadrajet for 1970 Formula Ram Air Cleaner setup
Post by: pex006 on August 04, 2013, 11:14:48 AM

Hi.  I am wanting to hook up the scoops on my 1970 formula hood to the ram air cleaner that comes stock on the 1970 formulas.  I have an Edelbrock performer carb and it won't let the aircleaner sit down because of the fuel inlet.  I want to get rid of the Edelbrock and P4B intake and get an OEM stock intake and a quadrajet that will work with the dual snorkel 1970 ram air cleaner and hood.  What quadrajet do I need to get to work with this setup?

The iron intakes from 68-72 are basically the same.  I'd locate a 1969 or 1970 q-jet, the grocery getter units would be fine.  The 71 and later Pontiac q-jets had a huge front vent tube, that doesn't fit the 1970 air cleaner base without modifications.....Cliff
