Quadrajet Problem Solving > Dialing in your rebuilt Quadrajet carburetor
running out of fuel
dlong70elcamino:
Pretty sure its set at 1/4" that is what Cliffs book says and that is what he told me to set it at. So 9/32 is actually lower so why do you think that will work do you think its flooding out cause normal street driving its fine as long as the 4bbl is not open a long time.
carmantx:
You said the float was set to spec for carb. You didnt indicate you set it by Cliff's recommendation. If it is truly set to 1/4 then that is fine.
I am just trying to help.
dlong70elcamino:
Boy I hope you didn't think I was ungrateful carmantx im glad you chimed in that is how stuff gets fixed is when someone knows more than you which there always is or they have had that problem and know the fix. I appreciate your help buddy I worked as a GM mechanic for 28plus years and you got to use ALL your resources to fix stuff. I replaced the pump yesterday ill take it to the track today and keep ya updated Thanks ....Dan

How much power does the engine make and how quick does the car run?.....Cliff

Cliff not sure of the power output.but i think i finally got it to not run out of fuel with a new 110 gph mechancal pump I got from summit.I had to Norwalk last night and it ran a best of 14.30 at 93.41mph I was hoping to get into the 13s several years ago it ran a 14.55 with 2.56 gears and a 600 Holley no other changes.It dont seem to want to pull hard over 5500 rpm. It does come out of the hole like a beast now with the Q jet 60 ft is 2.011 I know its a heavy car have not had it weighed but most of what i read about 3800lbs no driver. Maybe its too much carb? engine specs- 350 stock bore 10.0 to 10.4 cr 202 1.6 heads 165 runners Torker 2 intake 17057212 Q jet cam is 520 lift 292 dur 114 LSA
