I'm rebuilding a1958 364 nailhead. Along with looking for a cam, and a few other goodies, I need a 4 barrel intake and carb.....or.....if there is a adaptor for newer quadijets? I suppose I could get one made...Any idears :TU:
theres a few here yet with the intakes on them no carbs though i have a good air cleaner from a 58 as well intake $50 air cleaner $40 shipping would be the other thing let me know thanks Greg
what other carbs work on those,I'm not familier with the 4 barrels that were on there. Do you know how heavy that intake is? and I have a dual snorkle air cleaner that I had on a quadrajet, no idea if it'll fit with a typical buick card though, oh and where are you located?
i live in plymouth wi the intake is heavy for its size about 35-40lbs as far as carbs i do not know what will fit besides the older ones the opening is much bigger i think than the newer q-jets thanks Greg
wonder how much it would cost to send it to saskatoon saskachewan canada, whats best air, bus, I have no idea, never done it before.
Shipping intake to Canada Best and cheapest way to get most any item reasonabley sized and under 75 lbs. to Canada is the US parcel post. Pack your stuff up but don't seal the container. Most times they'll want to take a look. They'll seal it up. Your declaration at the mailing location avoids all the customs and duty charges and hassle at the Canadian end. On your question of what carb to use. Edelbrock/Weber after market AFB carbs with the standard GM linkage fit the 364 manifold nicely. They're in all the speed equipment catalogs and on the ground at every car swap meet I've ever been to. The opening on your quadrajet air cleaner will be too large for the AFB. However there are adapters available. Avoid the plastic ones. They've been known to break with potentially dangerous results. Namely,dropping the cleaner down, jamming the throttle linkage. Best bet, use a matching cleaner. Bill V. Pnx. Az.
