If it's not possible to get one new ($$wise) you might be better off searching ebay, then you will get what you want instead of taking second choice from a hand me down. There are hundreds on there that never see a bid so the pickins good if yer looking ta save some $. If this is still something that doesnt pan out for you I might have a holley off a 305 that will work (better) with the purchase of a rebuild kit, and an electric choke kit (as it is not elec.) Add the cost of shipping and you could possibly have one for the same price or nicer off ebay (this is only my logic, but your choice) I see craigslist isn't that popular in Minn. so there wasn't jack on there. Over here craigslist has hundreds of postings an hour, it's insane. Anyway, I would be happy to help but want ya ta get the best fer yer buck.

thanks for the reply........what is "craiglist?"

Thanks,

years ago i had a 65 impala wagon with a corvette 327 the carb was a rochester 4 port all the barrels were the same size i found one at s&m engineering in fairbanks alaska the wagon got good mileage and good power

I think I have what you might need.It needs to be rebuilt
But you mentioned reliability for your wife?
I would go with aftermarket carb and intake.If you want it to "look" original I see alot of guys lately paint the intake to match.you'll get better pefomance also.
e-mail if your interested I'll send ya some pics of it

you got it! paint it chevy orange and it will win every time ,
love your jokes

they look like the best but fall like the rest
I do like some mopars , my cuz has a old plymouth coupe
with a 440 6 pk in it F@#$ what a wild ride that is!
and I love the Hemis

theys got to be "old" hemis , not the new 5.7 hemi ,that to me is just a cheap sales pitch to sell more rams.
and yes about the "fart can" never heard it called that

Carb found thanks to those that replied..........

Hey Streets .!!..."Econo-Master" by Holley......now..thems fightin words cowboy.!!!!..... .......... ...Painted a Ferd fanatic's 352 V-8 Chevy orange once...He was so Edselized and pissed that he almost didn't pay the bill.....Poor baby.!!!.....

I noticed that one too, Streets. Wasn't gonna mention it, but glad you did. Not being a Chebby guy, I gotta ask it that Q-Jet would really be a "bolt on and go" on an old 283 square bore intake??? But, like I said, I'm not a Chebby guy so I am probably just confused again !!!
