This is not the easiest thing to do. I am not a purist. My 64 GTO was a tri power and after I got the right parts on it the car got 19 mpg. Ran great.
This is not about is a quadrajet being a good carb because I believe it is. For me their are a few things that get in the way. I am not a purist but like the overall look or originality. 1. I have a 2004r transmission and I have not found a reasonable answer to the detent cable adapter for a quadrajet. 2. finding a quadrajet that is right for your car and engine. I think I have one. I have a 7041264 for a relativel stock small valve 400. Getting the carb rebuilt. 1. finding a qualified person to rebuild it. The good rebuilders are swamped. I here a lot of nightmares of unqualified rebuilders and the carbs have to be gone through again. 2. Rebuild it your self. I have gotten a rebuild kit from Cliff R. who was very helpful. But I don't have the confidence to do it myself. And I would like to have it cleaned and color Buy a rebuilt one. Who sells good ones? I am a hobbiest and not a mechanic so the path of least resistance is to buy a one size works for all cases. So I am all about putting a quadrajet on it, but it is easier said than done. So for all the people on the forum who have helped me along the way I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks Greg Let the beating begin. |
