"Shadowfax" - Jeremy's 15th Anv. Trans Am

[Jdseibe]

Hey [MENTION=1515]92conv[/MENTION] any way that you might be able to check out on your 84 what numbers are on your Qjet?

Sounds like the reason its not been running right is because this old qjet is off an old truck that probably had a th350 and doesn't have the proper dentent bracket for the 700r4 .

I want to replace the carb with the original style.

PS thanks for the photo!

I took a photo of mine last night for you. I'll try to post it tonight.

Yes I did. Replaced this one with something else, and no longer had room to keep it inside. Had plans for this car, but time and space never allowed me to dig into it. Offered it to Jeremy figuring he'd enjoy it, and that if he was going to invest money he ought to do on a car that will have some "end value".

so I found an aluminum Quadrajet intake and an electronic controlled Q-jet from an 85 Camaro, the guy wants to sell them for 115 for both of them.. doesn't seem like too bad of a deal on them.

Um no stock intake a q jet no thats a bit much. Ill give you an electronic q jwt from an 85 and a mechanical one of you come get em

Look for a 17084205 carb to be OEM correct.

[92conv]

That's for a manual transmission. Last digit being odd=Manual trans

Jeremy the numbers on mine are as follows: 17084208.....Sorry I don't have photos, couldn't get them to upload to photobucket again.

Good to know. I was just using that carb list and I thought I read it was a HO 305 engine.

[92conv]

Yeah it does say that Mike, I can't explain why. My car has never been touched, it's an HO motor, and yet doesn't have that carb code......Makes me wonder if the Van Nuys (CA) cars left the plant with one carb, and the Norwood cars with another?

[Jdseibe]

So last night I got to dig into the engine a little more.. the wiring is jacked up! now I'm wondering if there was a reason the guy decided to go to the non computer controlled qjet.. the fans were wired in by twisted wires together.. random parts of the wiring harness are just pulled out and are just hanging, etc, I forgot to look and see if the computer is even there.. so now its making me wonder if maybe I should just keep it non computer controlled..

the cruise control cable is just flopping around in the engine bay.. a bunch of vacuum lines aren't even hooked up or capped off to random stuff haha! looks like I have my work cut out for me.
[MENTION=2551]TylerT/AZ28[/MENTION] can i get some info / pics on the mechanical qjet you have?

[TylerT/AZ28]

Yea ill pm you my number and i can text some if that works

[Jdseibe]

Yea ill pm you my number and i can text some if that works

haha read the PM first.. I responded back to ya.

I told you the kid I bought it from was a hack.

This is one of the reasons I was not considering a "restoration" on it. Too costly, and problematic to go that route. This car needs to be a restofication: somethings restored, other things (engine-drivetrain) modified.

no worries! was definitely not blaming you! haha.. I wasn't planning on doing a full restore.. just figured going back to cc quadrajet would keep me headache free because I know thats how its *supposed* to work.. but it will probably be more headaches to get it back to that point.. so I guess since my 383 will be non computer controller.. that it won't matter anyways.

[92conv]

It's all good, I knew you weren't blaming me.....I just wanted it to be clear that kid was a hack. I hope he's doing better with his engineering degree.
