I contacted QJetparts, gave them the number stamped above the bowl and they said to use this one..... https://quadrajetparts.com/quadrajet...32-p-2050.html 2.61" w/garter spring Does it really make much of a difference either way? |

Thanks for the info What exactly do they mean by this? "We will cut the accelerator pump groove on them by request for the Pontiac Ram Air carburetors, at no additional charge." Is there an actual difference between RA Q-Jets and standard? |

The RA carbs came with a little rubber boot that covers the exposed area of the pump shaft. The boot fits into a little groove at the top of the shaft.
They'll cut the groove for you if using that boot. John |

Were those really limited to the RA carbs? Over the years I've seen countless QJets with boots (although not always accordion style.....some looked like a solid rubber boot) This one does have it though |

ONLY Pontiac Ram-Air Q-jets has the airhorn machined for the rubber boot retainer ring.
You may add the boot to any Q-jet (sans the retainer ring), but ONLY Pontiac Ram-Air Q-jets had these from factory. |

OK, so a little update on this.... Sorry for the bump, but I only get to see her about every 6 months Ordered up a Mighty Mite knock off from Amazon (still made by Facet, but cheaper than the Holley branded version at only $25 bucks) Went with the low pressure 4 psi max version (12-426) Added a 90* brass elbow and looped a rubber hose to the main line Left the plugged return line as is Tucked the pump away as much as I could without touching the tank and wired up a momentary switch to the ignition (hard to tell, but the button is actually countersunk and recessed, so it's completely invisible unless you go snooping under the dash) Works great |

I just hold the button for about 10 seconds to fill the bowl, then start her up and let the mechanical pump take over. I used the low pressure version to avoid any possiblity of flooding. Folks over at Facet said the majority of their pumps are designed to flow through and will work fine for this application. |

Thinking that I need a couple of those pumps.. Firebird for after it's long winter slumbers and an old carbed Chevy that vapor locks when it heat soaks.. I didn't have any luck on Amazon finding anything under $60.00.. Snake Eater, could you provide a link for what you purchased?
