    I need the correct rebuild kit for my 1960 Buick carburetor

    Thanks in advance, the carburetor that was on my 1960 Buick Electra when I got it was (and is) a 4-barrel Rochester and it has the little aluminum triangle tag that says 7015040, but the carburetor is a Quadrajet which is leading me to believe that the 7015040 tag is not correct because it is my understanding that the Quadrajet was issued later.. I still run the original 401 nailhead so any guesses as to what reb I should get?

    Yes, post a picture.
    the Quadrajet was introduced in 1966. You may have a 4 jet carburetor, the predecessor to the Quadrajet.

    some parts are still available for the 4 jets.

    Number looks good for a '60, could be original:
