Title: 62 corvette with original intake
Post by: bober on July 27, 2020, 07:17:11 PM
What if any q/jet would work on a 62 Corvette ? I have been told a Carter WCFB 3059S is the original . Would a edelbrock work? Thanks for any info !!

A Qjet wont fit the 1962 Corvette intake due to the large secondary throttle blades, you will have to find a proper Qjet intake to use a Qjet on your engine.
The best choice would be a 1969 intake with a 1969 Chevy Qjet, but any Chevy Qjet with divorced choke could be modified/calibrated to work.

Original carb for 1962 Corvette w/MT is Carter AFB 3269S (Service carb 3721SA) and 3310S (Service carb 3720SA) for AT.

Thanks a bunch ! I was trying to get this info for a guy that just had the 327 rebuilt and needs a carb to complete it . Was trying to get him some info that he could use and this should get him started in the right direction !

Was the engine rebuilt back to stock specs?

If modifications were made to it the original carb may not work well, or at a minimum needs a little custom tuning so it works well with the new engine combo.

I have a mid 1960's AVS here originally from a 327 engine.  It's actually on Ebay right now as I'm cleaning up the shop and moving some cores that I don't plan on using.

Thanks Cliff; I'm sure it's pretty much stock but I think he has a 63 intake on it if that makes a difference ? I'll pass this info along as soon as I can !!
