Thread: 78 Trans Am getting some love

Well 36, If you want the job , I might give this quadrajet another shot. Just for curiosity's sake, this morning before work I pulled the lid off of it and I found that the primary needles piston was stuck in the bore from sitting so long. It actually took quite a yank with my pliers to get him to come out, I'm guessing that's going to help a lot of my drivability issues lol.

It'll make a big difference. Knowing that, it would be a good idea to clean out all the air bleeds and fuel passages with some carb cleaner and compressed air.
Here's a parts link;
