    Quadrajet Choke missing?

    The electric choke opens at one speed so the down side is on really cold days it sometimes opens to fast (stalls out)and on warm days opens to slow (hi idle). The thermostat coil choke heats up with engine temperature, so warm day its already off or barely on and opens quickly and on a cold day...

    ‘83 K5/4” lift/4WD: Still in need of header fitment recommendations for new crate SBC SP350 w/“D” port heads/angled plugs.

    I'm running hedman 69099 dport headers on a zz4 350 with dport angle plug heads, plugs clear fits well ,I like the ball collector flange I can't say I'm in love with the quality of the welds probably pretty average for a budget header . I'm running it in a 2wd so can't tell how well it clears a...

    Steering Column Interchange

    I built the column in my truck using the bottom from the 77 and the top is from a 93? OBS I think I had to fabricate the dimmer switch rod because of the length, so a lot of the pieces interchange between them. In retrospect finding a square body tilt column would have made more sense.

    Q jet loses prime.

    Leaky well plugs were a problem on the earlier carbs from the 60's. G.M. changed the way they installed them and most of the problems went away. You can pull the carb add some fuel or spray carb cleaner and observe the well plugs to see if they leak. I think well plugs a blamed too often...

    Some timing questions (experiencing some spark knock)

    vacuum advance is working. the fact you can advance the mechanical advance and take a a pic of it advanced shows there is something wrong there. it should spring back on its own. You might have to remove the distributor and disassemble the shaft, I think these 2 parts are rusted or gummed up...

    Some timing questions (experiencing some spark knock)

    that doesn't sounds right. 30 is a lot for initial timing. If you rev the engine how much advance do you get? 36 should be about max for initial and mechanical not including vacuum advance. Things I would check advance springs Missing broken?, advance seized , advance weights badly worn...
