Decoding/Numbers / How are Q-Jets judged ???

« on: March 06, 2008, 04:09:49 PM »

Are Q-Jets judged to be correct for a certain car/engine combo by the vertical numbers either 7 or 5 or 4 alongwith the plant codes  and Julian dates located on the driver's side of the main body only???   When Rochester /Carter originally built the carbs, was there a certain baseplate  generic to a specific application or could they haved used a baseplate for many applicatioons??
I am looking carefully over the outside and there are raised numerals in circles on the carb base. There are also serial numbers when I turn over the top of the carb... 

Do the judges just look for a correct numbered and Julian date carb or do they really get into it re. hangers / metering rods / etc etc...  Reason I am asking this is, that I have Q-Jets from the 60's and 2 of them are seized.  Really don't want to screw up the throttle bores/ blades by forcing them. What do the name carb re-builders do in this situation???  I imagine they could apply a base from another carb to the "good-numbered" unit... 

I am not trying to deceive, otherwise I would not ask this question on a public forum. Thanks!!

Good afternoon Rich/Kurt!!!  I have the 7029114 sitting in front of me and it does not have the Hot Idle Compensator on the rear of the carb body...  Not sure if this is of any importance but, the main venturi cluster is numbered 36245...  I  do not see an identification circle on the rear of the carb as  the Q-Jets have...  Maybe 2-jets did not this identification ...

Kinda wish at this point in time,  I had not asked the "stock car" person  to "have a go" at the carb...   Ted

I have a couple of 29202 DH 0869 units, I will check the Julian date as I have them being the same (0869) for both.. How rare is that to have 2 of the same date???
Also have an '69 Olds 29251 RJ 1149 and a '72 Olds 2251 (only 4 digits) then RE 2651.
Hope I haven't sullied the Camaro parts with Olds parts numbers, but I kinda found it interesting that there was a 4 digit code i.e. 2251.. 
Some of the older carbs I have are seized: 7026202 - data disc unit   - one of the  two 29202 units   - and a 7029268 ('69 Poncho) is seized.  Not a real load of rust on these carbs, but, what is a safe way to "free 'em up" without killing the throttle plates and associated linkages???  T.

A quick question(s) for you:::  I have  a 1955 265ci engine,  do I let Kurt know the numbers even though it is not obviously specific to Camaro??? A  Holley 4555 #3972121 X 70 Z/28, and a Rochester 7029202 DH 0869.  I am not sure of what I am to let him know or is it just engines and their VINs.   Is someone doing a registry for Olds /Pontiac + Vette Rochesters from the mid to late 60's???  Thanks in advance!!!   Ted

Thanks for the info on my engine  block.  I will doublecheck the numbers in a couple of weeks and surely get back to you.  I just finished adding another 396  engine to a Kurts person who does a registry for CRG.  This engine is  a 3916323 dated T0911  suffix MY  dated H18 7.  Original parts such as: water pump and 215 heads dated G25 7 and F30 7, also original balancer and the various pulleys are on this rebuilt 396.    As you can see from the above I am a new person on the block ... so to speak.  This engine will be up for sale soon and let's hope through the registry, it can make someone extremely happy...     Ted
