Hey guys. I have a quadrajet 17085001. It’s garbage, what can I replace it with in terms of another quadrajet.

What's wrong with the carb? 85 -87 with that number. Unless water sat inside or one of the housings is damaged should be rebuildable.

They still have repair kits. Look on Ebay for a NOS Thexton deepseize repair fitting. Look at the design,you will see why they are the best.
