Re: Q-Jet frustration

The quadrajet is a wonderful carb... IF its rebuilt correctly. The 'best' guys in town didnt know what they were doing. If the plugs are not sealed (which they obviously were not) and if the control shafts arent properly resized (which they probably were not),... then you will Never be able to get it adjusted correctly.. never.
Send it to "The Carb Shop" in California... they specialize in that carb. Or someone else who actually knows how to properly truly rebuild a quadrajet. cleaning and putting in a "kit" is Not a rebuild... trust me on this one.
