Carburetor replacement
Posted: Sat May 23, 2020 8:56 am
The Rochester quadrajet (# 17086115) from my 1988 Marinette Chrysler 318 was so pitted inside that it could not be rebuilt. I was going to replace with a Edlebrock 1409 but was talked out of it due to required mods and extra cost over direct Rochester replacement.
I searched the web by my carb part number and found a replacement for only $335 and ordered.
I just received it and it is instead a Carter that is stamped as made for GMC. It has the following numbers, CJ3, 7047186, and a circled R.
Is anyone here an expert about this that can tell me if this will work fine or if I should send it back?
Thank you,
Robert.
