Yep them quads can be a real pain sometimes but they do haul ya once ya get them dialed in .
there was a story on them from the program ''trucks' from power block tv.
they went into some good detail on things to fix and some shortcuts to help make them work better , i have an older one that i used some of those ideas on . but i am running an edelbrock now and it seems to be running well.
you may want to try and find that story from powerblock tv website .
i think it was -''curing quadrajet woes'' --- not sure
good luck with it !
ALso you mentioned gettin a 65 Riviera to do?
wow..............one of my alltime favorite cars i may also make that my next project
wonderful lines and just a beautiful ride imho !
and to find a 'nailhead' to put in it ? perfect !!!!
good luck on finding a good one - i am lookin for one also.
hopefully being out here in the desert we can find a decent one with not to much rust -desert rust i can handle - water rust and panel replacement ? well we;ll see.
