base plate holes
« on: August 24, 2016, 08:00:30 AM »
I just picked up a used q-jet. My first. I noticed that there are holes in the base plate that look like they're from wear/tear. Is that common? Will these be a problem? Do I need to find another base plate or can these be repaired?

This is a '79 and newer Quadrajet and those came with "sealed" idle mixture screws.  This looks like the start of an  attempt to unseal them.  Are they unsealed ?  Either way, I think you should be alright.
