Thread: Need quadrajet help and suggestions

Tweet

Thanks for the complete reply. The carb was not rebuilt by a shop, it is just a guy in his garage and was recommended by a friend of mine as being a Qjet guy. I know I was taking a risk on him, and I might end up here. I should have known better, but instead of saving money, I wasted 2 months and too much $$.

He did use a different baseplate since the original one could not be rubushed and cracked. He also said he resurfaced the baseplate and main carb body mating surfaces.

My concern is that working with this guy will get me nowhere, and working on this carb will be never ending. I need this thing done NOW. At least running decent.



I saw the Modeski racing carbs on Ebay and checked out their site. They look nice, I may go for one of those and just be done with the hassle.

BTW - it's not a spacer, but an adaptor. I tried to get the thinnest one I could. It is actually an open bore (instead of 4 holes). If you know where to get an adaptor to put a Qjet on Holley style intake (which has 4 holes), please let me know. They all seem to be the other way around and cannot be flipped.

Thanks again for replies so far.
