Quadrajet Rebuild
heres the long awaited carb rebuild post i have few pics cause i was by myself and kept forgetting the cam was there since it was covered so it wouldnt get ruined anyhow i did manage to get a few sorry for the bluryness but anyway the advice that i have is to take your time and lay things out the way you took them off so you dont lose anything and i used a brush , a small wire brush, and q-tips to clean it plus i put it in a pan partly sumurged in gas and also used some carb clean to get all the sh!t off and even if i do say so myself it came out a hell of alot cleaner than it went in and there was a noticeable power increase i will also say that dont be afraid to do it because it is well worth it especaily the dirtier it is and its not hard at all and i dont know what to say for a how to but heres some pictures and i hope they help the one pic is not of me but of my buddy holding the carb cleaner he didnt show up till i was done figures huh haha and a pic of what i used to clean with anyhow if theres anything else you want to know or i can help with feel free to ask and ill do my best to answer or give you the info you need

Re: Quadrajet Rebuild
Nice job on the carb, they are not to bad to do. I am concerned about that copper gas line though. Copper can crack easier than steel and there is no ridge or bump at the end of it to keep the gas line on if the clamp loosens up just a little. Possible fire hazzard. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

Re: Quadrajet Rebuild
You can get a fitting with the barbs on the end that will screw right into your carb. Run your fuel line to it and you will be good to go. Personally, I would not run the line like you have it. But that is just my .02.
Good job on the carb rebuild BTW. Mike
