You're right. I tried using a Quadrajet from of a 3.9 Liter Buick a couple of years ago because I happened to have a spare Sharp 4 BBL manifold and a variety of adapters. I couldn't get it to run decently no matter what I did, so I gave up after a while. I think it had something to do with the stack of adapters I had to use just to get the carb mounted. I probably could have made it work by butchering the Sharp manifold, which I wouldn't do.
