800 cfm carb
« on: January 19, 2011, 05:36:28 PM »
Cliff,  I am looking for a 800 cfm quadrajet carb to have your shop build/rebuild for my engine, what is the part number for my Pontiac 455 with an auto tranny I should be looking for? some sites say look for 1705xxxxxx but ive found those first 4 numbers can range in lots of carb specs.

Plenty of compression for some serious power!

I would put a tad more cam in it, something closer to 300-310 seat to seat timing, on a 112 LSA.

For the carburetor, any 1976 or later front inlet Pontiac, Buick, or Old's will make a great starting point for a really nice high performance carb.

My favorites are the Pontiac carbs with the large front vent, as found on 76-79 350's, 400's and 455's......Cliff
