Quadrajets are not usually mentioned in stock 55-57 restoration forums.

Good point FI!
I would also like to add that the early Qjets did have a foil tag - circular in shape, inserted above the throttle arm.

You can probably see a variety of tags on E-Bay, if all you want to know is what they look like. There are all kinds of repro and used tags for sale; just type in the kind of carb you're concerned with in the search function. Works for me. Butch/56sedandelivery.
