Quadrajet Problem Solving > Diagnose a Quadrajet carburetor problem
Dual quads
Cliff Ruggles:
The engine is 11 to 1 compression, cam is on a wide LSA so it idles pretty smooth and has a very broad/flat power curve. Flat out in full street trim it runs nearly into the 10's so we take steps to run slower on 1/4 mile tracks as mentioned above.
I also have a full/quiet exhaust system, with an "H" pipe to help mellow out the sound and reduce resonance as well.
The most fun we have is when folks come over to check out the combo after we make a quick pass with it. The look on their face when they see the stock intake and q-jet is priceless!.....Cliff

yeah, I'll bet...LOL I'll be getting a hold of you in the next few weeks to get a kit and some other parts for the TA carb. Can't do too much in my shop yet got cars stored in the for the winter and I still have some snow on the ground....I'll be in touch.
Thanks again for your time!
God Bless!!

Snow on the ground......where are you located?
chance:
North east Washington state about 20 miles from the Canadian border. I live on top of a mountain overlooking a lake It's amazing. The down side is sometimes we get a lot of snow and this last winter we got our fare share....LOL Not really a down side as I have snowmobiles to play in the snow. Do you like to fish? My Local track is in Spokane Wa, about 100 mile from my house. Needless to say we get our fare share of street racing from our little town and surrounding towns.
Cliff Ruggles:
I love to fish and go to Florida every October to do some surf fishing while my family enjoys the beach. Last year was the first year we didn't make it down in the last 15 years.
We didn't get any measurable snow here this year aside from one or two very light "dustings". Very odd as we typically get a pretty decent amount of snow and a lot of snow storms came thru the area but every time went just North or South of us.
I love traveling out West to the Rockies and making a trip out there here in a few weeks......Cliff
