QJet parts

[85 K5]

Throttle is sticking on an original Rochester. Anyone know if the bushings on the butterfly shaft can be replaced and where to get them? Or maybe even the whole piece, throttle body I think it's called?

baseplate assembly, theyre replaceable, i cant remember what ive heard ppl use to replace them with, maybe you can get soem from edelbrock maybe, im unsure, need a press and reamer drill to replace em, what part number is on it ? there wil be a circle somewhere on it with about 6 or 7 numbers, kinda small, and i may have a good baseplate assembly same casting, i have alot of carter and rochester Q jets around and parts too

good luck

Rusted Chevy if you're still around thanks for the offer. My baseplate has the number 17077554. The carb is a 17085226 which was a dual pump setup. Air horn has been changed to a single. Let me know if you or anyone else has one that is repairable, found a shop locally that can rebush them. I'm afraid I've ruined the original. I think any carb that has numbers starting with 1708 will work, as long as it's not ECM. The ECM has air bleeds below the throttle valves and the kicker linkage is different, as well as there is a vacuum port missing from the baseplate.
