The quadrajet was made by Rochester division of GM. They were used on the 70-71 429 CJ & PI engines.

I thought that was strange, thanks. I am looking at a craigs list add. So just quadrajet. I was looking at it because 4 bbl but smaller primary's than a normal 4 bbl, so better mileage if tuned properly?. So, quad or TBI?, got an old 351w

I ran a qjet on the 400 in my 78 for several years, it was originally from a 76 Bonneville. It ran fine but did not get the improved gas mileage I was hoping for so it was recently swapped out for a small Holley. Qjets can be great carbs when properly calibrated but they're not for everybody.

Qjet a great rep in the off roading world, better than a Holley or Edelbrock as far as staying running when at steep angles.
