Hi Cliff,
This thread is a continuation from the "Buy Quadrajet Parts, Quadrajet Kits, Service" section by Greg Carter titled "Carter or Rochester?".
My Carter carb # is 7045213.
My engine specs are:
cid= 355 cu in.
cam specs are 1500-4000\t270 280\t204 214\t.420 .443\t107Deg 117Deg\tB ( well, that's what it
says on the card) little rv cam. Plenty of vacuum...
edelbrock manifold with egr (heat sink)
compression ratio = probably 8.5 to 1 (says the machine shop)
The carb specs are corrected as follows:
idle tube .037
idle channel .075
upper idle air bleed (main body) .085
main air bleed .046
main air bleed (horn) .042
main jet 72
primary metering rod .044
The secondary rods are not numbered but measure .100 tapering to .135.
The secondary air tubes are .075 and .042.
The bypass air is plugged on both sides.
The bypass opening in the throttle body is .095.
So I'll need to purchase the idle parts you recommend and it sounds like the mabs too.
I've already purchased the rebuild kit.
What did I forget?
This carb is for a daily driver that I'm looking for economy. At 12 mpg, I don't really expect much
improvement. Since I'm retiring soon, it won't be driven all the time.
Thanks,
G. Carter
