I was built in 1976. Quadrajet carbs are as classic as me.

One of my first challenges on cars were q jets, then Holley carbs. I have a friend who has a stockpile of them, I keep the 2 jets for parts for my trip power, but haven't messed with them in a while. Great carbs once you figure out the metering tricks. You can use metering rods and jets from 2 g in them as well... shorter rods are richer. I used to keep matching rods and jets on hand for tuning. If you don't have a source for parts, I found that "Mikes carbs" on line has pieces and parts for many carbs. He has brass replacement floats and other ethanol resistant parts to allow them to survive the new crap fuel.

All I remember about them is the well seals always needed replacing.
