I purchased an old truck on Friday that needs some TLC. One of the issues is the carb. The fuel inlet is stripped (super common on QJets). I see that they do make several types of repair kits for this. The self tapping kind looks promising. Any have any experience here?
I also do not know what kind of filter came with this carb...long or short. Is there an easy way to tell?
If its a Chevy carb(side inlet), then its most likely a short filter. Olds/Pontiac Q-Jets have a straight fuel inlet that is longer.
If youre new to Q-jets, I'd suggest you pick up a copy of Cliff Ruggles Q-jet book. He walks you thru the whole tuning procedure, or you can send it to him and he'll do it for you.
