Hey good eye!

Thankfully they don’t come with o-rings anymore.

@@MuscleCarSolutions those new tube style seals are FANTASTIC compared to the old o rings!

@@stevestaples6650 love them! Makes the assembly simple.

Thank you sir!

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying it!

I wanted kits that were a little different but these had a pretty big variance. Still good to show that not all rebuild kits are the same!

@@MuscleCarSolutions Oh! Absolutely!

I’ve tried to make that as clear as possible about carburetors. There’s a place for every well designed (not a knock off) carburetor manufactured by their well known makers. It’s like camshafts. There isn’t a one size fits all. The 4160 has its place and does it’s job well.

Now if we could just make everybody understand how good the quadrajets are, too haha

It needs a new base plate? Can try eBay to see if someone has one or a core to sell cheap. Or buy a new one if cost isn’t an issue. They can get quite expensive.

I did see where you can drill them out and put new brass pushing them them. Just haven't got there yet

Easy for those mostly stock engines!

😆😆

Yup. Eventually we’ll get there. Probably a few months away.

Yup. Someone caught that earlier. Good eye!

Hard to say. Assuming because it’s a 307 it’s just more of a cruiser. Very hard to beat the Edelbrock AVS2 line. Very easy to tune and operates extremely well with the annular boosters on a street car. The 4160 series holleys are good as well. If you have a brand preference. Either one work well.

What year is the car? Why replace the Qjet? Worn out throttle shaft? Computer controlled? Broken metering rod springs? I'm a ford guy, a 25 year ASE master and did mostly drivability and electrical repair and the Qjet is the best street carb ever made IMO. Your 307 may have a funny secondary air plate that only opens about half way. Why I have no clue, carb CFM to large for the engine in Olds eyes? A non crippled correctly functioning Qjet will put anything short of fuel injection the shame as far as drivability and fuel economy are concerned. Biggest downside is they are limited to 500HP or less do lack of fuel flow through the needle and seat. The small float size limits the size of the needle and seat that can be used. Best Qjets came off of pre 72 big block cars and trucks with the cady ones having the most CFM. Ford used Qjets on some 351C's and 429CJ's, hell even Chrysler used Qjets on later model small bocks. If this is a computer controlled 307 check for vacuum on the hose going to the bowl vent on the carb. The canister purge valves like to fail causing a vacuum on the float bowl. May only happen off idle or any time. A thermal vacuum switch in the same circuit is also prone to fail. I always replaced both anyway.

It wasn’t in stock the day I ordered those kits. I’d have to look back to see if I kept any notes but I believe the Holley trick kit was the only one available but it was out of the price range I wanted to keep these at.
