I just rebuild a Rochester Quadrajet Model # 7028213, I’ve reassembled all of it except for the linkages on the side of the throttle body that connect to the choke. I am having difficulty reassembling the spring and lever assembly, does anybody know the exact positioning of these parts?

I came across this explanation on the workings of vacuum advance on The"B Bodies Only" website. It's authored by "Revhendo" and I found it worth sharing. For those of you interested....... This was written by a former GM engineer as a response to a similar question on a Camaro board: As...

I replaced the problematic 800 cfm Quadrajet on my Chevy 350 with an Edelbrock 1405 600 cfm carburetor. Right away I noticed it starts and runs much better and sounds healthier, but the fuel economy REALLY suffers. With the q-jet I had been getting about 9.5-10 mpg w/ a max of 10.6. Now I'm...

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble tuning this CCC carbureted 305 Monte Carlo. I rebuilt the carburetor because it had leaky gaskets, but ever since I've rebuilt it it runs insanely rich. I reset all the carburetor parameters to as close to stock as I can but it doesnt help. I ended up with the...

Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with a quadrajunk equipped 85' C30 454 that I'm trying to get operational for a buddy. I've never tackled a quadrajet before, but I've been through quite a few Holleys and figured I'd give it a shot. I'm slowly regretting this haha. Here's the deal, neighbor...

454 with Holley carb and mild cam. Backed by a TH350 auto. If I floor it from idle, it takes off and runs up through the gears fine. If I floor it from a roll at, say, 2,000 rpm, it revs a few hundred rpm and then bogs badly -- feels like the engine cuts out for a few seconds (feels like a...

Could someone please identify this strange canister connected to my carburetor in the top right of the attached picture? (on a 1978 GMC 350). It looks like a pcv valve but is not connected to the crank case. Does not do anything when blocked off.

Hello everyone, I have a question about my manifold vacuum reading dropping a decent amount after a cam/intake swap. My original set up was a comp 282s cam (235/235 @ .050" & 282/282 advertised, with .521"/.521" lift with 1.6 rockers, 110 LSA) and a RPM air gap intake with a 2 inch open...

Hi All, :welcome: I've made a big rookie mistake and need some assistance. About two years ago, I was working on a Chevy 350 engine, and left it exposed to the elements. No valve covers (for a while). No intake manifold. No radiator hoses. The hood was closed at all times. My neighbor...

Alright so I've been ALL OVER the internet trying to find a good answer to this and I really haven't come up with much. How do you find your secondary jet size (with max HP in mind) on a traditional Vacuum Secondary Holley 4 Barrel without an AFR gauge or a drag strip to evaluate E.T.'s and...

Well! Once again again again again I'm messing with my Holley lol. I need help and this is the place to go for answers. Holley 670. I have done a lot of different things to it to get it to run right, and I've had it dialed in very well. I figured out I need adjustability in my Idle Feed...

Hi, I am in the process of tuning my new engine, and removing some of the old emissions wiring and sensors when I stumbled upon what seems to be the ecm. I didn't even think carbureted cars had em, but a bunch of wires went to it, right along with a set of wires that goes from the base of the...

I've just did an engine swap in my 78 c10 from a broken down 350 to a rebuilt '68 307. I had to swap the water pump, fuel pump, intake, distributor, and carburetor over from the 350 to the 307 and did NOT make any adjustments whatsoever to any of the above parts. after having to replace the...

Hi. I'm having some trouble with the quadrajet on my 77 camaro. It won't run clean, and when i try revving it goes even rougher and slowly builds up revs. I'v had this problem since about 2 months after i installed the carb along with a new intake (edelbrock torker II). The weird thing is that...
