L48 QUADRAJET

[had 1 new]

HI, I AM NEW TO THE CRG FORUM. I JUST RESENTLY BOUGHT A '67 SS/RS 4 SPEED CAR THAT HAD BEEN STORED SINCE '86.  IT IS A CORRECT ALL MATCHING NUMBER CAR WITH THE EXCEPTION TO THE CARB AND INTAKE MANIFOLD. I JUST BOUGHT THE CORRECT QUADRAJET CARB # 7037203 WITH THE CORRECT DATE. MY QUESTION IS TO SOME ONE WITH AN IDENTICAL SS350 WITH 4 SPEED AND THE ORIGINAL QUADRAJET CARB.  WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS IF THE THROTTLE SHAFT LEVER IS A TWO PART ASSEMBLY AND BY THAT I MEAN IS THE OUTER PART OF THE LEVER WHICH ATTACHES TO THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE A BOLT ON PIECE ATTACHED BY TWO SLOT HEAD BOLTS?. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO AND PIC'S IF POSSIBLE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.  PAUL.

The accelerator lever was always a one-piece stamping, not two pieces screwed together.

THANKS JOHNZ FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE L48 QUADRAJET, BUT ONLY THE AUTO TRANS CARS HAD A ONE PIECE THROTTLE LEVER IN '67. THE 7037203 IS A 4 SPEED CARB AND IS DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE THROTTLE LEVER AND WERE DIFFERENT AGAIN IN '68 AND'69.  ANY OTHER GROUP MEMBER(S) PLEASE RESPOND. THANKS AGAIN.  PAUL.

Are you referring to the arm at the firewall or linkage on the carb ?? A pic of what you are looking at would be a big help.

I'm referring to the lingage on the carb itself. the 7037203 rochester is designated as an early style for use on california built camaros with a.i.r. and 4 speed trans. and is almost identical to the 7027203 which is non a.i.r.. The carb i bought is correct in every way, right down to the date code of A7 . The only thing missing is the outer part of the throttle lever which is the piece that the accelerator rod attaches to.  the 7027202 and 7037202 are very similar carbs but are intended for automatic trans and the throttle lever is a one piece stamping as with most carbs with multiple holes for kickdown,cruise control etc. whereas the 4 speed carbs had a two piece throttle lever with the outer part attached with two slot head bolts. I did somemore research and found a picture of a 7027203 in CHEVROLET by the numbers by Aan Colvin and it clearly shows the two slot head bolts and a second pic on the next page shows a partial of the same lever and a part # is visible.  I'm sure most people, including myself would and have looked at these carbs in the past and never even noticed that the lever was that way.  I would really like a close up pic(s) of the lever showing the part# and the slot heads . I notice that you have a "67 ss/rs listed, I can email you a pic of my carb to compare if necessary. Thanks..

Sorry about the long delay. I went out of town at noon Friday. My car came with an automatic and, unfortunately, I don't have the original carb.

Good afternoon...  Went through my carb pics and I have a 7027203 data disc unit looks like H6 Db or D8 - hard to make it out... Anyways,  Mr. JohnZ is correct...   Sending a pic of my carb's linkage to you... T.
