    Does this carburetor have a spring you put in before gas filter is inserted?

    That carb is a 4 barrel not a 2 barrel like what you called it. hence why its called a quadrajet.

      It's not a crate engine either. It's a stock sbc. Crate engines are called crate engines because they can be shipped to your house pretty much complete in a wooden crate
