Thread: 7042240 Quadrajet (buy or trade)

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by StageTwo
I am looking for a 7042240 Quadrajet (1972 455 automatic 800cfm). Needs to be complete and rebuildable. Can send you Paypal or make a deal with my reproduction black sports steering wheel (only a few months old) if you are looking for one. Need good pics to make deal - thanks! May consider at 7041540 carb, but sort of have a '72 theme for my project.

I think I have a couple extras laying here. I may be willing to sell one of my restored carbs also. They haven't been run since being restored.

Brent...my ancient old hand-written inventory sheet shows I have a 7041540 MF 0841 1971 Electra, 455 auto, 84th day of 71. IF..you give up looking for that 72 455 QJ..let me know and I'll try to snap you a few pix and details. Wheelz, Tampa Bay

I have a 72 455 Buick with a 7043240 what is the difference between it and the 7042240? Bob H.

GStage1 replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
7043240 shows 3 as the fourth digit which is for 1973....other than that....it is the exact same carb.

rmstg2 replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
OK Thanks George. That must be why "Carbs Unlimited" show it as fitting 72 to 74. Bob H

StartoBlue72, let me know what you have. I would be interested in a restored carb too. I need to rebuild the carb for my 350, but thought I may as well go with a 800cfm if my near-future plans include a 455. PM or email me with pics and prices: bj@ziptrucklines.com wheelz, I'll keep your '71 in mind. Thanks.

Brent, I have the following carbs. 7042240 MB 0832 7041540 MF 2320 They are both complete and came off of running engines. Let me know if you are still looking. Alan

Thanks, Alan. I'm still waiting for further word from StratoBlue72, but will keep your carbs in mind.

StageTwo replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
StratoBlue72, I sent you a PM. Any luck finding one in your collection?

But I just need one I can have rebuilt for the 455 I'm going to put in my Skylark.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the California model and the non-California model, something to do with emissions, I'd guess.
