Rebuilt Quadrajet
Scratch that float and needle question. I found some diagrams that helped me to understand. I will take the carb off next week and rebuild it again and take note of it. Thanks again for the help!- Mason Lawley

Rebuilt Quadrajet
If I remember correctly, it started right up after the first video but only ran for a couple seconds. I had to refill the bowl with gasoline after that, so it does make sense that it is running out of fuel. In regards to the float and the needle/inlet valve. In which configuration is the most...- Mason Lawley

Hoping to learn a lot here. I've got a 1978 Scottsdale C20 Long Bed. I've done basically no upgrades, as I'm new to driving the truck. I've had the truck for many years, but it has sat. I recently totaled my commuter car, which is why I'm hoping to revive the truck. She runs well and everything...- Mason Lawley
