∙ 13y agoThe oem is a Rochester Quadrajet, but you could also use a Holley, Carter or Edelbrock, among others. It would be best to pick a carb that you or someone you know and trust knows how to tune. In the alternative, buy a book on tuning the carb of your choice.
There are daily flights from Tulsa (TUL) to Greater Rochester International (ROC), the closest airport to Holley NY.
holley makes carbs for all vehicles. the manifold on the caddy is set up for the carter afb, which edelbrock used as a base for their carbs, so an edelbrock will bolt right on. this is the route i took with mine. you will probably have to get an adapter to set the holley up on the square bore of the old caddy intake. the adapter should be available wherever you get the carb. hope that helps.
yes, from either jegs or summitt etc. made by edelbrock, and one by holley
A 2-plane manifold such as the Edelbrock Performer or similar would be a good choice.
sounds like a chevy motor 250 cid. you can go original which was built by rochester, believe it or not a decent parts store could hook you up. if you want a bit more power tou can look at summit racing or jegs. holley, carter, edelbrock all make something for you motor you can even by a 4 barrel intake manifold and carb for about 50 more horse power , my suggestion by a nice holley 2 barrel carb and a carb adapter

I would get an Edelbrock performer 4bbl. intake manifold with a Edelbrock 600 CFM. carb, summit racing has everything you need. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holley 650 double pumper for the win!
Originaly, a Rochester quadrajet. However, edelbroc, and Holley both make a replacement that is worth consideration, and the cash outlay.
A bad governor gear or the throttle valve linkage is not adjusted properly.
According to Edelbrock, the 2701 Performer EPS is designed for use with square bore carburetors (for those who don't know the difference between a square bore and a spread bore: A square bore has primaries and secondaries that are the same size; a spread bore has small primaries and large secondaries -- like a quadrajet). Edelbrock recommends a 600 CFM performer carburetor for use with the 2701 intake manifold. Edelbrock recommended part numbers are: 1405 with manual choke; or 1406 with electric choke and calibrated slightly leaner than the 1405 for daily driving & fuel economy. You can also use Holley carburetors as well (vacuum secondary or double pumper in the size of your choice).
This is kind of a tricky one. I didn't do it with an Edelbrock carb.....it was a Holley. But here's some things to try. I bought a universal drop chrome air cleaner that would clear the Holley fuel bowls. I cut the bottom out of the original air cleaner base, leaving about 1/2" around the edge. I then cut the universal one to fit in it, just til it overlaps the original. You can weld or pop rivet the two together. Do some measuring. Make sure you get the height you need for the shaker to fit. You may or may not need a drop style air cleaner. When done, all your shaker parts still function and fit as original. Good luck.
