Squarebody question

[total newb]

stock sbc qjet are 795

Mine is def the one-piece. Does the 2 piece have external balancing on the crank? Is that a reason why the flywheels are different? Also looks like a different bolt pattern.

1p have a smaller bolt pattern and are externaly balanced.

I thought the 795 was reserved for bid blocks and most sb got the 750?

Yes you should be able to move the secondary air valve by hand, easily

Been years since i read up on it, Took a quick duckduckgo and cant really find anything other than 750 and 795 versions on the ol net'?

seems like the stated popularity of the 795 varies between articles

Rochester Quadrajet: The Rodney Dangerfield of Carburetors

The Rochester Quadrajet frequently gets no respect as a performance carburetor, but configured correctly, it can be a solid performer on and off the track.

That's what I thought. They are frozen shut despite some PB. Gotta keep at it I guess.

PB is basically useless. Get some Kroil. Orange can.

That thing needs disassembled anyway if it’s stuck. The inside of the bowl will be full of shit too.

Sounds good; thanks!

Nothing major to pick from. Both are crack free with good threads in the trans holes.
The whiter one was from the coast so was exposed to sea air for a long time. The darker one was coated in grime and fwiw the pivot ball is cleaner.
