I'm a fan of quadrajets. They're great. 10 years ago, I called this guy:
https://cliffshighperformance.com/
He sold me exactly what jets and custom needles to run. Ran Excellent... I had problems with fuel evaporation and hard starting when cold. My dad just ditched his quadrajet on a 500 c.i. Cadillac for FiTech. Runs waaaay better, and instantly starts when cold. I will never own another carb again. Those days are over.

442s were also built in Freemont CA (Z), and Linden NJ (E). As I recall, Cutlass S were all 350. Base model were 6 cyl or 350 v8. Cutlass Supreme (notchback) could be optioned with 455 code W-32 aka SX455. By 1972, they were all Cutlass, and 442 was a trim/handling package, 350 or optional 455.
