Quadrajet carburetors were also built under contract by Carter. This was due to the fact that Rochester could not keep up with the demand for carburetors at various points in their production. [citation needed] Carter-built Quadrajets will have the name "Carter" cast into them, but are functionally identical to the Rochester-built equivalent.
In 1953 an advertisement in Life stated: "Rochester builds original equipment carburetors for Chevrolet starting with 1950, Oldsmobile from 1949 and Cadillac from 1951. Also, Rochester supplies replacement carburetors for Chevrolets from 1932." [7] Rochester also supplied Pontiac, while using the Power Jet name in the replacement market. [8]
They were identical to Rochester's units, except the Carter name was stamped into the body. In Carter's final years in the early 1980s, they also produced Weber carburetors under license, such as the three-barrel Type 40IDA sold as replacements (or fuel injection retrofits) for 1960s and 1970s Porsche 911 S.
The base engine produced 175 hp (130 kW; 177 PS) while the 4 bbl Quadrajet Sprint versions were rated up to 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS) with automatic transmissions. The versions with a manual transmission received a hotter camshaft that boosted ratings to 230 hp (172 kW; 233 PS).
The J-2 engine also had a slightly thinner head gasket, raising compression to 10.0:1. It was advertised with gross power and torque ratings of 312 hp (233 kW) at 4600 rpm and 415 lb⋅ft (563 N⋅m) at 2800 rpm. Oldsmobile charged $83 for the J-2 option with the three-speed manual (or in the 98), [7] $314 with the automatic. [8]
