Hi all Quick story short, I have just put a 308 motor into my vk and the carby is ****ed. Now what i want to do is either get a secondhand one that works (if theres any around) OR replace it with something that will go on hopefully hassle free. All it is is a standard 308 with exhaust and extractors nothing special, so if you can help me out that would be good. cheers

Yeh im tryna either find a second hand one or a new unit but need it urgently. The other carby is unrepairable. I have no problems with a quadrajet its just their gettin hard to find in good condition and i need it asap.

you can buy them reco new. i saw an add in street commies not long ago.

Yeah? I've had a look in the issues i've got here but havn't found anything. Any idea's where it might've been? thanks for the reply

sorry it was Street machine www.humeperformance.com.au (http://www.humeperformance.com.au) 02 9602 9033 they list a VC-VL rochester here for $400. Try your luck

thanks man, i managed to get one from eagle auto spares, a remanufactured holden quadrajet so hopefully it does the trick. thanks for looking that up, cheers

ebay has reco ones for 340ish.. i bought one off here for $320 posted.. 830cfm.. good carby..

i recommened get the original reco'd i just got my quady done and it looks brand new and its been tricked up a little it cost me $330 thats full reco and had all the bolt and nuts anidised it looks brand new that was from south eastern carburettors in dandy phone number 97949295 (give them a buzz if you wish) (PNISHU) just let them have a look it may not be that bad

Carby is unrebuildable, gas destroy'd it and apparently it has been burnt somewhere where it shouldn't be, and warped real bad, leaking out've everywhere possible. I did try south east carby's, twice infact (they have 2 numbers) but yeh i've managed to get a reco holden quadrajet from eagle auto's so hopefully that does the job. LUXJET: Yeh i did have a look at the ebay ones but to tell you the truth im not a carby/V8 person so i didnt know what i was looking at. I did see a reco one AFTER i purchased this other one on ebay for a decent price too (real nice, $345) but i was mainly after a standard replacement nothing too fancy

type this is on ebay quadrajet carby recon will come up with a reco quady for $280 + $25 postage. you couldn't buy cheaper elsewhere I bought a secondhand one of ebay 4 months ago for $60, got a kit put through(cost $80) and runs perfect. Although I bought a dud a couple of years ago out of the trading post.
