    Electric Choke Issues

    Ok...I think it's all adjusted now. Got the choke and pull off's set, and it seems to be running good. Didn't spit any wet black spatter, so that's a step in the right direction. Once it was running, I hooked a vacuum gauge up to the big manifold port on the front-bottom of the carb, and...

    Electric Choke Issues

    Great, thank you. What's the best order to make those adjustments? Should I do the fast idle, primary choke pull off, secondary choke pull off, and then choke adjustment, in that order? Or a different order? I'm worried that one adjustment will mess up the other...

    Electric Choke Issues

    What do you mean by the choke may be "too tight"? My Quad has a secondary pull of, and I think they're adjusted right, but they're probably not! :) I just ordered a hand vacuum pump so I can verify the pull-off setups. The fast idle should be adjusted as well, but same story...is there a...

    Electric Choke Issues

    Apologies if this is a duplicate post; I'm having some issues with my carb and was wondering if anyone could help? I have a Quadrajet 4 barrel, mounted to a stock intake on an 84 C20 454.

    Help locating shift indicator part

    Thanks. Doesn't seem legit...I added the part to my part, clicked on checkout and the cart was empty; just kept going in circles. Tried to email the shop to confirm part availability and got a bounce back for address not found.

    Q-Jet Block Off Plate

    So I could just remove the tubes, leave the existing plate in, with the 2 small holes in it, and the only "down side" would be a small amount of extra heat coming from the manifold?

    Q-Jet Block Off Plate

    Hey all, I have a stock intake on my 454, and currently the Q-jet uses the hot air stove system for the choke (see pic). I purchased an electric choke conversion, but need to block off those hot air holes. I found this from Edelbrock (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-8961/make/chevrolet)...

    Vapor lock or something else?

    Thanks. I don’t remember ever having the charcoal canister (it may have been removed prior to my getting the truck), but I don’t think it had one. What is its purpose? I haven’t checked the fuel pressure/volume; is there an easy way to do that?
