    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    It’ll have to be tomorrow afternoon before I can if I’m even able to then. I did the other quadrajet because I want to go back to a qjet on my work truck. I didn’t get off work until an hour ago and it was already dark plus it’s raining a little bit here in Tennessee.

    TBI idle issue

    Got the rebuilt kit in and I’ll try to start taking it apart ASAP. I also need to figure out why coolant sometimes pushes out the radiator cap.

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I’ll get access to a tester. I’m not sure on the carb but I resealed and cleaned out one of my other quadrajet as and I’ll try to throw it on and atleast get it idling better. It fires right up and runs great off idle. It’s got a massive vacuum leak at the base gasket currently. Could absolute...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I don’t have the resources to do a compression test, but I know someone who does. I’ll try to do that but I don’t know much about it. How do I go about it. I know you take the plug out and screw it in there that’s about it. I don’t know what wet dry means. How many times crank? I know you hold...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I’m thinking this engine needs more than a uh carb.. I rebuilt a qjet on the flatbed and noticed the passenger side exhaust had a puddle of oil under it and all inside of it. What could possibly cause that?

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I came to the numbers R4-M4ME as a model number from the 17082222. I’m not super familiar with quadrajet I know the vent on top but what about the vent on the front? Can that being capped cause flooding?

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    After some more research I discovered that the bigger port on the front of the carb is a “bowl vent nipple” to go to a charcoal canister of sorts, I noticed mines blocked off with a vacuum cap. Could said vacuum cap cause issues or should I leave it?

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    Oh and I’ve got 10 or twelve of those holleys all around 600cfm, but I’m trying to make this just a reliable engine for fuel mileage as I planned on throwing it in my work truck. I got some more info from the carb. 17082222 82’ Chevrolet 4 barrel automatic trans. But how do I find out what cfm...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    Also I have no idea how to identify quadrajet models. I know the one time I redid one oreillys gave me different gaskets from what the truck had. Here’s some photos of everything I thought might need to be shown. If I can figure out what I need I’ll rebuild it first.

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I gave her some beans while it was running and right after that was when it died and didn’t start back. I really want to save a quadrajet. My 78 had a quadrajet it ran had some issues but ran but I had the option to have an edelbrock given to me so I swapped it and it’s been running an edelbrock...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    Alright drove the truck around the yard it’s still got a serious fog from passenger side. It’s a white grey smoke and it’s thick when you’re on the throttle. The truck is 100% flooding out I drove maybe thirty seconds before it lost all power and would only try to start with peda on the floor...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    Now that the distributor is in the truck fired right up and idled last night, not chooching white smoke, it is burning a little oil on the passenger side. Could’ve been the dead cylinder I’ll fill it back up with coolant and check again. Then I gotta do some timing adjustments and some carb...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    Took intake manifold off yesterday found the lifter napping in the valley dropped it back in replaced gaskets inserted new (used) pushrod now have to do timing and get it running to diagnose carb issues.

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I tried to just sit another pushrod in and it just sunk down the whole way, the lifter is gone to visit somewhere so I’m assuming pull the intake and put the litter back in and go from there. Surprisingly I theres a memo book of maintenance and new parts in the glove box and the only thing in...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    It ran surprisingly well for a completely dead cylinder. What should I do to go about getting this engine back going? I planned on using the engine in something else when I was done with the truck. Can I just pull the intake check out the lifters replace what needs replaced and reassemble?

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    Popped valve cover off…. Can’t feel the lifter down in the hole either, so uh what causes a new crate engine to do this? All the valve cover bolts were hand tight that’s why it’s so greasy come to find out. It’s fairly clean under the sludge. Inside the valve covers wasn’t terrible but not what...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    It’s a quadrajet, I noticed that with engine running when I was playing with the carb and timing.

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    I did notice while fiddling with the carb that when the secondaries open you can see fuel dribbles come out and land on the top air door. Is that normal? Or is that just more verification it’s dumping fuel from somewhere

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    This engine does have almost what I’d call a diesel injector noise? At the passenger side. I’ll try to pop off a valve cover and check it out. I plan on doing a tuneup since one spark plug wire is different so new plugs, wires, redo timing, fix the quadrajet since I actually want to keep it etc

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    It’s not a throttle body truck. It’s a Frankenstein truck. 1981 c10 cab on a k20 frame. Finding new things everyday with it. My 87 has the brown wire you’re referencing however.

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    It’s a warn hub, but it says 4x2 and 4x4 instead of lock and free, and it’s got that spacer I mentioned.

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    By over advanced do you mean a tooth or few off when the distributor was put in? I slightly advanced the timing to where the coil cover was straight side to side because that’s usually where I start and the truck wouldn’t start, slightly retard it and it fired right up but the timing mark is...
