Just found another one:

 61U       Primary Metering Rods
 DD        Secondary Metering Rods

Quadrajet Parts and Numbers / Re: Do these Primary Rods EXIST or are they just TYPOs?
« Last post by SUPRCHY on February 21, 2026, 02:19:59 PM »
Just found the answer to question #1. I just had my hands on a Primary Rod marked 37J from a 7045193. Since the 9C calls for a 7043537 and the rod is marked 37J(which falls inline 7043536 = 36J & 7043538 = 38J) I feel pretty good about this one.

While question #4 asks about the Auxiliary Rod and this one is marked 35B. If we assumed it is the original that would be a 17052814?
No way to know for sure, but this carburetor was not a reman and it looks fairly original to me.

Let me know if you have any evidence either way.

Quadrajet Parts and Numbers / Do these Primary Rods EXIST or are they just TYPOs?

Doing some Quadrajet research and I've found some Primary & Auxiliary Rod numbers listed in the 9C's that don't show up on any lists or internet searches. I hope someone has dealt with these before. Thanks for any help given.

      P. ROD#              9C-              CARB#
1.)  7043537             2012            7045193
2.) 17053335            3091T          17058512
3.) 17053339            2014-A         17057533

   AUX. ROD#            9C-              CARB#
4.) 17052814            2012            7045193/230
4.) 17052815            1045            7045548

Interesting how many were Cadillac carbs.

In case anyone is interested attached is information I found about the secondary orifice plates in a Quadrajet.

Quadrajet Carb Talk and Tips / Casting numbers
« Last post by gstocker on February 18, 2026, 03:24:16 PM »
Is there a site out there that has the baseplate numbers and what they're carb number it belongs to? Bought a 7044202 from a swap meet but the baseplate isn't the correct one. Plus are all baseplates from 72-75 (chevy carb) the same including the 1901 edelbrock?

Quadrajet Carb Talk and Tips / Re: Idle speed solenoid

Kenth : Thanks for your input...I , however , am well versed in solenoid operation in regards to throtte speed increase ..No offense intended ,  but Im not wanting to know how they operate , setting procedure , wiring diagrams , etc
 I am simply looking for a solenoid strong enough to open the throtte against the return spring pressure and increase the RPM's when the A/T is in gear , when the A/C compressor comes on @ Idle....
 Thanks again for your input

Normally, the idle speed is set with the solenoid active, A/T gear engaged and AC on.
No further increase in speed for AC on should be necessary.
With the solenoid inactive, the speed is set 100-150 rpm lower.

That's interesting. I would have thought the vacuum would have been much less.

Kenth : Its a #17082224 ..but I've tried factory Q/Jet idle-stop/idle-speed  solenoids and they are not strong enough to open the throttle from curb idle . ..Only after the throttle is opened , will  the factory solenoid extend and hold  idle speed at an increased RPM. As I understand it , they were used to retract after the ign is turned off to completely close the throttle plates to negate "Dieseling"
 What I'm looking for is a solenoid that has enough force to increase idle speed when the A/C compressor comes on without having to blip the throttle pedal...Either a vacuum or an electric (12V) solenoid can be made to work..
 Hopefully this may clarify what I'm trying to accomplish..

It would help knowing the carb-# and application.
