New (to me) carb, way way too rich
Yea PCV is hooked up. That's interesting about the power valve, I hadn't thought about it since I've never had a holley. I'll check that tomorrow, my vac gauge is MIA I'll have to hunt that down. You're right about the q-jet, it's got a broken auto choke housing and a linkage issue so I didn't...- Gene King

New (to me) carb, way way too rich
Hey guys, I put a 650 cfm Holley 1850-2 on my 305 'cause thats what I had to replace a feedback quad. It's running incredibly black smoke rich though. I know it's a little bigger than ideal but this is an eye scorching situation. It's got 1 metering block with #66 jets right now, single pump...- Gene King

New truck, trying to understand its molestation - carb/intake
Sorry guys I'm a dumby, I shuffled around the hoses and compared the runner shape to photos online, it's a qjet intake. I tried threading in bolts that looked like a front one but I didn't try hard enough I guess. Or maybe someone broke off bolts in there, be strange to leave it unbolted for no...- Gene King

New truck, trying to understand its molestation - carb/intake
Hello, and oop I missed my question trying to be brief. Looking for speculation on what's probably going on here. I read they made different bolt pattern spread bore intakes but in my dream scenario I was hoping someone could tell me there's a square bore intake under there from that info of the...- Gene King

New truck, trying to understand its molestation - carb/intake
Hello. I bought an 86 Sierra 1500 with a 305 and a quadrajet just this past weekend and was investigating an automatic choke problem it has when I noticed the carb only has the front 2 bolts holding it down and the other the 2 rear holes don't line up to the intake. It is miserably cold outside...- Gene King
