    Quadrajet rebuild problems

    I have my fast cam removed, and use a manual choke. Pull it out a 1/4 way and you have high idle. Please dont use shortcuts, they will only make you do it over yet again.

    Ultrasonic cleaner: What size?

    The carb warehouse I worked for tell their customers, if you do not SONIC CLEAN you carb, dont ask for refunds when our kits do not work. We have a 16 gallon at work. I bought the Harbor Freight one. It will fit all motorcycle carbs, Holly 94s & Rochester 2bdls. Use Aircraft grade Simple...

    Headers or manifolds for 86k10 350 w/ Vortec heads?

    I took my headers off and replaced them with manifolds. Next I will be getting some factory "short" headers that will give the toque, and fit on the stock pipes.

    Quadrajet rebuild problems

    If its NOT idling, it is an idle circuit problem. Most likely debris that fell into a passage. The only repair is to rip the bottom plate off and sonic clean the throttle body again. Pull the adjuster screws and any pop off plugs.

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    It looks like an Rochester 2 barrel under there. Foot print looks to small for a 4 brl. Whom ever recommended you put a chinese E-brock on anything, kick them in the nuts. Any Quadrajuink is better than the best chinese carb period.

    Spark plug mystery

    You can measure the fuel pump pressure. In a rare instance the valve can pop loose and plug the outlet. ALL fuel pumps are chinese made and very bad for older rigs. Have your OEM on rebuilt, or do it yourself. Kits are out there. and not chinese ones. Now & Then in Maine is your connection...

    Rochester Quadrajet Woes

    BS, very few carbs NEED fiber floats. Only a few Holleys NEED them black junkers. If your Quadrajunk is in a boat, then you might go fiber. Amazon, auto box stores all sell chinese kits and parts, the lowest quality you can get. Mikes Carb Parts has all American kits, and electric choke...

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    When I ripped my headers off, I found 1-2 spark plugs jammed in the collectors. It seems when they dropped them, they just left them there. So if your determined to under torque your rig, what out for flying spark plugs.
