1969 GTO Judge Questions

hockeyguy21 · 05-04-2008, 07:48 PM

he guys, new here, and young too. im looking for the pros advice, hopefully it hasnt been posted before.
my dad owns a 1969 GTO Judge in Carousel Red. It doesnt move from the garage, as it has issues he has been unwilling to fix. i was wondering if anyone has had a new carburetor installed on this model and what kind and a link or price that goes with it.
we also have a tranny leak, and if anyone knows a lot about tranny leaks, please let me know!

thank you guys!

I would suggest removing both the transmission and carburetor and taking both to reputable shops and have them rebuilt.

If that car is numbers matching I would not replace anything with aftermarket parts.

Just my 2 cents,

yes its numbers matching. my dad said he hasnt found an original carb, his was stolen way back and hes running a different one that is pretty poor. im hoping to help him fix this up before summer so we can drive around in it. i love that car. thanks for the help!

FYI,

The part number for the RA III is 7028270 and the RA IV is 7029270, these Rochester carbs are rare and very expensive if you can find one. I have a friend who pulled one off of an engine he purchased for $400 and sold it on ebay for over $2,000.

Good luck with your search, I would suggest that you contact a guy named Lars Grimsrud via e-mail, he is one of the best all around GM guys in the country and he may be able to find you the correct carb.

As far as the tranny leak, check the fill tube o-ring and all gaskets.

Where are the #s located? I have a couple vintage GTO Carter 4bbl carbs (and intakes) here I wouldn`t mind ID`ing.

now if he wants to smack on a new carb, just for some time, whats a recommended good carb we could get?
