Well after checking things I decided to put a Holley carb on to see if this was it. Runs perfect now so it's the carb. I have rebuilt alot of holleys. I have a few quadrajet carbs as anytime I had problems I swapped them out for Holley & never had issues. BUT I want to keep this car original with this quadrajet carb. Anyone rebuild 1 ? Or rebuilt Holley & quadrajet. Are they a pain or a pain compared to holleys? should I just take it somwhere? Can't believe this carb got messed up after taking extra precaution to not turn upside down & mess float up,etc..

Building one carb is pretty much like another, if the kit has good instructions.

I was in the same boat with my T/A as you for keeping the factory Q Jet. I rebuilt it but never got it right and then sent it away to get rebuilt by people who knew what they were doing. It not only came back running better than it ever did, but it also looked brand new again which is something I think you'll appreciate. It's been too many years to remember who I sent it to but it's worth the money if you find one.
