Answer 1

about 200 bucks for one to fit that car,or you can go with a different brand ,maybe come out a little cheaper,for a good one though 200 should do it,good luck on it.

Answer 2

Dear Cutlass-

You have two basic options, and neither is really cheap.

Option 1:

Take your carburetor to a reputable carburetor shop and have it rebuilt. This is going to cost you about as much as buying a good quality aftermarket rebuilt one.

The bad thing about these is the fact they are not the exact one that came from your car. It will be close, but throttle linkage brackets may not fit correctly, and if that is the case you are going to be into a whole bunch of other issues like getting the transmission kick down cable adjusted properly so the transmission will downshift into the passing gear when you step the gas to the floor.

If the engine is equipped with a 4 barrel, getting the secondary barrels to open at the right time for wide open throttle. There will be a few other issues that you will encounter too.

So rebuilding your existing carb is really the best answer for Option 1.

Option 2:

Head out to your local GM Dealership with the carb in hand. The parts house is probable going to have to order it so just expect that is going to be the case. The carb they will get from GM is the same carb that went on the car. GM had a different carb setup for each of the different model of cars they made. Yes some of them used the same type of carb, but the differences are in how it mounts and its different attaching parts. Some were even jetted differently per make of the car. It depended on who the "Focus Crowd" was the car was being sold to.

The Parts Pro is going to probably ask to see a small metal tag that is attached to it. If that tag is missing, you may be in for a little bit of a hunt for that carb. But he should be able to find it fairly easily.

Just so you are aware, the carb that you will get from GM will come with a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty, so should anything happen, that carburetor will be replaced by GM during that period of time. So please keep your receipt from the dealer should you choose to go there.

Don't forget to also have your VIN Number ready for the parts guy. That is going to help him ensure that he gets the correct part for your car the first time.

I hope I helped you out, good luck.

Answer 3

2 barrel or 4 you probably could get the 2 for about 175 and the 4 for 280 to 300 something

Answer 4

An OEM (dealer brand new) will run you $550-650. You'd do better to take the one that is on it off and take it to a shop that will rebuild it and if they do it right it'll run like new again. Most shops can rebuild it for $150-250.

They do sell rebuilds at auto parts places but they are still costly but they at least have a warranty.

Good Luck!
