W-31 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Just recieved my quadrajet carbs from Chief Joesph, all i can say is wow!!! Can finally remove the aircleaners from my stock gm builds. These things look like he took a real carb and shrunk them, incredible! How about some Holley square bores like this??
DrGlueblob Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Seen the Hollys from Calnaga Castings? Neat stuff.
Chief Joseph Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks very much Todd. I used a real Quadrajet for measurements, so it's about as accurate as possible, allowing for printing and casting limitations.
Modlguy Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Just ordered mine the other day. Expecting delivery today. I've ordered from Joseph before and his stuff is excellent. Can't wait.
Chief Joseph Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) OK, Link ? http://www.fireballmodels.info Direct link to product page: http://www.fireballmodels.info/fmr-42-43.htm Thanks! Edited October 19, 2014 by Chief Joseph
FASTBACK340 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 WOW! That's a nice Quadrajet! I bought your tires and was very pleased. These look awesome too!
Greg Myers Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hands Down, best carbs I've ever seen in scale.
mademan Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I just ordered mine, as well as more tires! I just cannot get enough of them! excellent product, very accurate looking.
Mike Chernecki Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I received my order today. One word ...WOW!!
blunc Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 my hat's off to the person that finally produced a decent looking Q-Jet. BRAVO sir.
Chief Joseph Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Any plans on doing Holley's? If I had one sitting around it would have already been done, LOL. It is quite a bit easier to make a model of something when you have one in your hands.

tubbs Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 just a suggestion, of course, for all of us mopar lovers that HATE those hunks of styrene on top of the hemi, your next undertaking should be the carter 750 thermoquads. I am not a carb expert and don't really know if these can pass for the thermobogs or not. your web page says "ROCHESTER" were as the ones on the hemi are "CARTERS" they look pretty darn close to me. any help on this?
Modlguy Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Got mine yesterday, First rate. In fact, the best carbs going.

Carter built Quadrajets under license for GM, but the Thermoquad was a Carter-designed unit. They look more like a Qjet than they do a Holley, but there is enough difference that even at 1/25 scale a Qjet could not substitute for a thermoquad. I would be more than willing to make one, assuming i could get enough references or an actual core.

I've been known to do something crazy like that…… Seriously, if that's all you need just say the word. I have access to goodies.
W-409 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 WOW! Those Quadrajets are Beautiful! As a 1:1 Stock Eliminator Drag Racer I like to build lots of Stockers and Super Stockers where you can't hide carburetors under air cleaner... I will buy those soon for sure. So.... Thank You for making those carbs!
