Quadrajet Problem Solving > Dialing in your rebuilt Quadrajet carburetor

heat insulator gasket

(1/3) > >>

boogie:
 I have carb number 17058204 that I rebuilt with the help of Cliff and his parts.   It runs great but I do have a hard start problem after it sits 30 minutes or so after driving.    What is a good (wood) base gasket/insulator to use and do you sell one?  If not, Can you recommend one?

blazer74:
I use the Edlebrock 3/4 wood laminate spacer for heat soak and fuel boil but it is not a cure all by any means if you have other issues causing the problem.

Having a return line helps a lot.  Really.

 My AC-Delco 40987 mechanical pump has a 1/4" nipple on it that is hooked up to the return line back to the tank.  Thanks for the suggestion though!
