I got a jet performance carb from Pep Boys. New not rebuilt. they have the patton from Quadrajet. This carb worked great out of the box. looks exactly as factory.
needs bigger carb before tune up so he can tune the carb to the motor. the white smoke sounds like a head gasket is seeping at worm conditions. after it sets take out the plugs more than likely find a plug wet
I did not have to convert mine from R12. Last year before the eastern meet I put 134A in it ranit in for the meet come home evacuated it . Put 401 in it. it is a direct change over from R12. It pays to have friends in industrial A/C Biz. It lasted to the end of the year till it went in the body shop
I personaly would not drill out the wheel because they are stamped steel and made for the lug nuts to set in. The drum I have honed out with no problem.
my plastic inners were so busted up that when I drove the car in the rain water would pull on the moter and try to drown it out. in body shop now getting new steel inners put in after the body work is done
Jet Performance has a carb that is a direct replacement for the Q jet. When I changed mine over to a four barrel I used one. the one I have has up to 825 cfm. More than I will ever need. Out of the box on the car started up great. only ajusting I did was the fast idle
I have two very straight bumpers and they are in need of rechrome. would you get after market or try to find a rechrome place. not any around where I live so they would have to be shipped.
I had mine out twice still does not work quite right. I could only find a used one but try Leo (konic Klassic) to see if they make new You are lucky it is nickels and dimes. mine is hundred and hundred and hundreds
they are not hard at all. put car on jack stands put a wide board on the floor jack under the oil pan. put small amount of presure on jack. remove through bolts. raise the motor up gently watching the distributor cap. remove bolts off motor. repeet in reverse to install
