Which jets and rods for my Quadrajet?
Short of it:
I have a 1971 C/10 with a 350 and a Carter AFB. Engine and intake are stock/original AFAIK. I acquired a Quadrajet 4MV 17054919 (1973?) when I got the truck. I'd like to try and use this carb instead of the Carter. I'm in the process of rebuilding the 4MV because it's condition was/is "unknown". I found one of the secondary metering rods is bent at its tip. Because it'll need to be replaced, what is the correct rods and jets (both primary and secondary) is correct for my otherwise stock application? Long of it: The PO was my Uncle until he passed away. The PO before him was my grandfather/grandmother before they passed away. At one point, in the 1990s, the original carburetor was stolen. My Uncle replaced it. When I acquired the truck after he passed, it had the Carter AFB installed, and the 4MV was found in his garage with other truck items. I don't know if this 4MV was the first replacement after the theft or not. I don't know if it was ever run on this truck. The exterior of the carb appears to have a couple years worth of fuel "carmalization" on it, the inside looks immaculate except for the accelerator pump and bend metering rod. My goal is not performance, my goal is drive-ability first, and economy second. (Grading on a curve here!)
