I will go to look at a 1983 gmc 1/2 ton 305 c.i. 4-barrel fleetside next weekend. If it is as clean as the well taken pics and runsout/ shifts out right i am probably going to buy it. I have decided to later on go with g.m's 260 h.p. crate motor maybe with a small hydraulic roller camshaft. I am leaning to stay with the q-jet carburetor because of the part throttle economy. My question is ,,,,,is this a quadrajet on the 83' gmc 305??? If so ,, is this year worth rebuilding/keeping???? Second,,, does this carb have a ton of vacuum lines off of it?? I kind of want to clean up some of the emissions/vacuum line garbage of the 83' era.
