Thanks for checking us out.
Post questions, comments needs, and help requests here.
We are going to give this forum idea a test run. We get lots website requests for help. Each question is specific and we do our best to answer them all.
We thought it would be a great resource to document these technical issues here.
The intent is to have a membership supported forum where, for a nominal fee, you get direct personal online help solving your Quadrajet problems from Cliff.
Eventually only members will have access to post and ask for help. Guests are welcome to browse.
For the time being all access is totally free. Let's see what you think. Let us know if this is something that you would be interested in.
As a membership supported forum you will have an archive of tech support here that will include not only a record of the discussion of your problem and resolution but every other Carb problem we solve. What a great resource! This is more convenient then searching through emails, and more permanent then notes from a phone call. A single source of Carburetor problem solving that is Quadrajet focused.
Let us know what you think of the idea. Post away..
Guests can search and browse, but in order to post, you must Register at the top!

Hi Cliff.
Didn't know that you had a forum, stumbled on it by accident ( a link in a thread on PY).
Its year three for the q-jet you rebuilt for me, still going strong.
Thanks!

Hi Cliff & Deb,
This is going to be a very valuable site and I look forward to utilizing it in the future. I am going to the track this upcoming weekend with my 67 GTO for the first time in 25 years so we shall see how it performs compared to its last venture there. Last time out it ran a 13.82 @ 103 MPH with bias ply street tires. Details to follow upon the return trip from the track (Ubly, Michigan). Take Care.

Great Idea Cliff! You get so many questions concerning Q-jets on PY This will be a Perfect Place to Learn from you and others! :)

Just registered, I always knew there should be a message board like this. Thanks Cliff!!!

Hi, I think this is an excellent idea and hope it has great success, like your books which i can's say enough good things about !
-
Hi Cliff, I'm not sure if you know about this, but your home page dosn't seem to load completely. i've tried it three different days and I get the same results......just to let you know

It looks like there were a few issues with the Hosting Server over the weekend. Everything seems to be OK now. Thanks for the alert.

AAhhh, the forum. A slippery slope we're on now, huh Cliff? Critter here. If you need moderator advice give me shout. You know I run our club forums and also moderate over on TAC. I'll be happy to help in any way I can. BTW, great to see you get a forum up. It might make it easier in the long run. Perhaps the same basic questions can be dropped into and FAQ where the newer users can be directed? Just a thought. Anyway, glad to be here and help where I can.

Hello Cliff,
I can't believe you've had this forum up and running since mid-summer and I just now found out about it. I surely do appreciate all that you've done for us Pontiac fans, and those of us that are fond of the Q-jet in particular.
Now that I've found this place I'll be checking in often.
Thanks again,
Rich

Cliff,
Great Idea...Between this,the holidays and the lift install you have been a busy man!! I am sure '09 will be good to you!!
All the best,
Jay

Thanks Jay. Also thanks to all those who signed up recently.
We did a major clean-up in the shop over the holidays, and installed a new shop lift. I had some minor surgury planned, still recovering from that, with a few minor complications, but nothing serious.
Looking forward to another great year, lots of good things in the works, including some camshaft testing with our new engine, and building a 455 for a good friends car with ported iron heads and upgrading to a roller cam. Hoping for some low 11 second runs out of it, it was running low 12's with unported heads and a flat hydraulic camshaft.
I'm also going back to the factory iron intake on my engine, so see how it compares to the Edelbrock RPM intake that we are currently running?
We are also upgrading our parts inventory with lots of new stuff. Also adding more items to our custom HP rebuild/recalibration kits.
Happy New Year!!......Cliff

HI Cliff, just found your site got a few ? I have a quadrajet carb when I got it, it was in a few pieces. first of all the numbers on it are 7028219 DG can someone tell me what application it goes on? I think its a 68 chevy but what size motor? I bought a basic kit for it when I took the top plate off there are only two brass tubes (idle tubes) and no secondary feed tube I compared it to a later model that I have . Does this model only have two or am I missing them? thanks for any help and I think Iam missing some of the choke parts I might send it to you so you can make sure its going to work right thanks again Jerry ps I bought some 48 pontiac heads off you a couple of years ago
-
It's a 1968 Chevy carburetors.
The two missing tubes were for the POE system, which wasn't used on many 68 Chevy models for some reason? The POE system can be added during rebuilding, we do it to all 68 and earlier carburetors that didn't use it.
The two tubes that remain are not idle tubes, they extend into the secondary fuel supply passages and add some emulsion air to that system.
The idle tubes are the same as all other q-jets, pressed into the main body toward the front of the casting.....Cliff

Hello Cliff,
Your Echo guru here, Like the forum setup.
That 465ci motor you helped me with is now fully assembled, check back with you next week.
-
Good new Tony, now if you can find the time to install it?.....Cliff

Hi Cliff, I have just received your book and am planning on starting my rebuild soon. I have a question about my carb (#17086047). The carb has both primary and secondary choke pull-offs. Can (or should) the secondary pull-off be scrapped or is it advantageous to tuning. Thanks
-
The secondary pull-off can be removed IF there is a link from the primary pull-off up the the secondary airflap shaft. Some models used both pull-offs, but two links from the rear pull-off, one to the choke and one to the airflap shaft......Cliff
