    Big block Quadrajet vs Small block Question

    I picked up a few quadrajet carbs and I thought I rebuild one for my 78 that has no choke. This will be a first for me. But my question is, one of them is a 17057221 which is listed as for a 76-77 454. On the outside it looks the same as the other small block units, so what all is the difference...

    Q-Jet with divorced choke question.

    It has nothing for any type of choke. Well Duh! I was reading that an electric choke won't mount to the old style carb. I guess I'll have to tear it apart and take a better look.

    I picked up a 72 dated carb and manifold for cheap thinking I could the choke set up on my 78 which doesn't have a choke. Well the 78 doesn't have the pad on the manifold to mount it either. I really don't want to swap manifolds for just a choke. I wondering if there is a way to mount an...

    Fuel gauge stuck on full

    I was thinking that since it was screwed to the tank it might be a common ground, but you could be right, the ground on the sending unit might be isolated. I might dig out my new unit and test it out

    Fuel gauge stuck on full

    Question for someone who knows, I don't think the sending unit is isolated, so if the tank shows it's grounded wouldn't the sending unit also be grounded? So instead for trying to get to the ground wire, just check continuity of the tank to confirm ground?

    Fuel gauge stuck on full

    You should be able to feel around for the ground wire. the ground wire goes from the sending unit to the top of the frame rail, fastened right next to the tank. I'll see if I got a pic. well I just tried to see on my truck but due to some surgery I can't get under the truck. but there's only...

    The round bars look stainless but I'd bet the flat mounting brackets are chromed steel.
