Quadrajet Rebuild Kits

[MylilBowTie]

Carburetor number - 17084226 - 1534 HCD

What brand has better quality over the other and how complete are the kits. I would have used the search feature to try and help my question, but that isn't available to use right now. Here are some of the manufactures that I have found so far.

GP Sorensen
Niehoff Ignition
Borg Warner

From what I remember I need a rebuild kit and a new float. I going to get some Berryman's Chem-dip to soak the carburetor in. I have a small air compressor with a rubber tip blow tool. I have the torx bits and everything I need that I can think of as far as tools to rebuild it.

What type of epoxy is good to use to seal the plugs on the underside of the middle body. Im not sure how the epoxy and gas would cause problems.

It would be nice to buy a new quadrajet but I dont have that kind of money right now. So Im going to see what I can with the quadrajet over the 1406. I like the 1406 but I cant pass e check with it. It runs fine but I am way over the HC limit and little on the CO. I have decided its either the carb or the catalytic convertors, they aren't that old 3 years or so but they are catcos.
