Hi all,First time posting. I have a quadrajet carb number 17083221-1053-FJX that i want to rebuild and recalibrate if necessary to run on a 1986 k-30 truck.It has a stock for 86 gm crate engine in it.I don`t know the cam spec numbers but they would be stock for 86.I will be using a non egr late style cast iron intake.I`m not interested in high performance but more in pulling power and economy.Thanks in advance.

jimmyg:
I forgot to add in my first post that the engine is a stock 350.

jimmyg:
I was wondering if the #1 recipe in Cliffs book would work well with this stock 350 setup.

77cruiser:
That carb stock should be fine.

Cliff Ruggles:
If you aren't using all of the original emission control devices it will respond well to a slight recalibration for the crate 350 engine.

I would recommend one of our SR rebuild kits, jets, and our fully tapered 50C primary metering rods and new power piston spring.

Also check the pull-off to make sure it holds vacuum and the electric choke to make sure it works.  I always replace those items here during a rebuild as most are at least 30 years old and usually the first thing to give trouble once you place the carb in service.......Cliff
