Quadrajet Problem Solving > Dialing in your rebuilt Quadrajet carburetor
Put my rebuilt 17057229 on finally
Mudsport96:
Yep have your HP kit in it with the orange PP spring installed currently. You rebuilt the baseplate and installed the external APT for me. By the way, baseplate looks fantastic! Choke pull off is timed right at 2 seconds and it starts darn near immediately. I just couldn't get the stink out of the idle.
And yes the converter is tight.. I talked to tci and told him all the info about the car, and when he asked what it had in it for a converter I told him. He was so quiet I thought he hung up on me. And pointed out with the cam in it even though its small it needs at least a 2200 converter.
Cliff Ruggles:
For sure it would need more converter if you want the vehicle to leave hard on full throttle starts.
Those jets are HUGE for one of those carburetors and it will be putting down a LOT of fuel at heavy and full throttle with that jet/rod combo.....Cliff
Mudsport96:
OK, well I'll try to get a call to the shop after I get off of work.
77cruiser:
I'd like to see about 10 deg. of vac. advance, to see how it responds.
Mudsport96:
You're referring to 10 additional degrees at cruise, not manifold vac at idle?
So hopefully I will ba able to pick up a new vac can today and get it installed in the next few days. The 60 degree weather went away and its starting to snow now, so it may be put off for a few days.
