Could be a number of reasons but one that comes to mind is the camshaft has worn lobes. This condition would cause a consistent popping out of the carb on acceleration.
With the 318 ci 2 barrel carb engine, 1,134.With the 383 ci 2 barrel carb engine, 307. With the 383 ci 4 barrel carb engine, 178.
Sure. Although the choke will at the very least, need adjusting if you can get it to work at all. You might need to adjust and/or re-jet the carb as well. But assuming that the carb is good, you can just bolt it on and it WILL run, just no telling how well it will run. I've done it before with no mods to the carb and it ran just fine. Other times, I had to fiddle with it to get it to run right. Since they are both 307's, chances are it will work just fine other than the possible choke issues.
A 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic with the original engine does have a carb and the engine is a 305, because I have one. This can have a 307. I have an 87 Caprice Estate Wagon, with a 5.0 liter 307 olds. Which, is actually for sale.
Actually any carburetor will work providing you do not exceed the maximum CFM's for your engine. Carburation is tuned by the jetting inside the carb to obtain the right fuel mix, so you could use a 2 barrel or a 4 barrel providing they are both jetted right for the airflow. The biggest carb you can use on this engine can be calculated with the following formula: CID x max RPM / 3456 = CFM whereas your engine is a 307 and theoretically if it is a street motor would see about 5000 max rpm then: 307 x 5000/3456=444 CFM's
The Last production car with a carb. was the 1990 GM 307 cid used in mostly all GM wagons. The last production truck with a carb was the 1993 Isuzu pick up. The answers apply to vehicles built for the USA.
My Chilton book shows VIN ( Y and 9 engine codes ) - 8th " character " of VIN The 307 - 4 barrel carb - V8 engine is rated at 148 net horsepower at 3800 RPM and 250 ft/lbs of torque at 2400 RPM
Most Rochestor 2 and 4 barrel carbs should fit on the manifold but watch out for subtle linkage and choke hook ups. And the carb off the 350 will be a bit rich for the 307. Short of changing the metering rods, it's tricky to lean out.
I have a 1969 el camino 396 ss new holly 4bbl, timing set correctly, and sometimes gives a pop thru carb. please tell me the items to check over.
If you are looking for a 4V- Rochester Quadrajet. Advantage to this one is extra small primaries-what you need. Or aftermarket a 600-650 Holley 4V w/ vacuum secondaries NOT mechanical.
307 is a prime. It is divisible only by 1 and 307.
The positive integer factors of 307 are: 1, 307
Every 1980 through 1984 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight had a 5 liter (307 cu. in. Oldsmobile) V-8 with Rochester QuadraJet (4 barrel) carb.
