I have one of those.

67 Chevy 327/350.
I have Carter quad off a 68 396 and early 70 402.
I think Rochester couldn't build fast enough.

I have seen a few. Parts interchange with Rochester.

I have an Edelbrock Q-Jet too, but I never thought to look at it for any kind of identification.

 

[La Hot Rods]

I had one of those also, traded it for a 4781 Holley.

Oldsmobile used Ford 3 speed transmissions in the 1967 cars...

I think Rochester had a fire and couldn't meet the demand so they contracted with Carter for part of 66 and 67. I think that is why you found 1966 275hp 327 with possibility of three different carbs, Quadrajet, Carter AVS or a Holley.

 

[La Hot Rods]

That sounds about right, some king of manufacturing loss. Maybe even a strike.

My BRAND NEW 1966 Cutlass had a FORD 3 speed trans from the factory I had to wait for the 4-speed for a couple of weeks

I guess Weber USA made the Edelbrock ones? I'll have to check my 74 Nova, it may still have one on it. Whatever it is, it works pretty well or I would have changed it by now. I do know CA gas eats the accelerator pump up every couple of years.

That number Carter Quadrajet looks to be from a '67 327 275 horse. I have somewhere in my core box a 7041202,made for GM by Carter. That one came off a '71 402 300 horse engine in a '71 Monte Carlo. Sometimes, OEM sources needed to outsource in order to meet demand. Another oddity, my folks had a 70 Mercury Colony Park Estate wagon with a 429 and a 2 barrel. Once the starter went out, so when I pulled the starter, it had a GM Hi Torque starter and solenoid with a nose casting that adapted the block mounted GM starter to the Ford C-6 bell housing. It had a stamped steel bridge from the battery cable post to the terminal on the solenoid that activated the starter, and the solenoid that ran the starter was on the inner fender just like any other Ford application. Weird crossbreeding of parts.
All of you who build Quadrajets, I use QuadrajetParts.com as a very good online source for parts, they also carry the accelerator pump plungers and the needle and seats that don't turn to mush in the current calipornia gasoline blends. Quadrajet Parts also is a good source for brass floats. Parts stores have a problem getting carb parts any more, let's face it, a '66 Chevy 327 or 396 is 55 years old right now. Scary,huh?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Mine is a 7029202 M8 DH

 

[Greg Reimer]

That number is for a 1969 350/300 horse engine with an automatic trans.

I have 3 of those Carter ones on the shelf. Rare Huh? who would have thought that.

 

[409N]

No picture .......didn't happen ,,,Find 3 more smart guy

 

[427John]

I've seen several over the years,while not the norm I don't think it would qualify as rare.But then again as overused as that word is maybe it would.

 

[tenxal]

No, they aren't rare...Rochester just outsourced to Carter to keep up with demand. They are identical to a Rochester in every way.
