So the Quadrajet is back together and ready for tuning. This is a pretty easy process that only requires a straight-slot screwdriver and a vacuum gauge. If you don't have a vacuum gauge, you can pick one up for about $20. Quadrajet tuning shouldn't be intimidating.
If you haven't seen the first two videos in the How To Quadrajet Rebuild, make sure you check them out. The links are above.

Thankyou for the video, like you say in your bit - I was one of those people that worried about the setup of my Qjet on the 500 in my '74 Caddy Eldorado. Using this vacuum pressure method I was able to improve the running. My engine only had 15 inHg, but after tuning the engine seemed happier and I got it to 19 inHg. I was able to check the operation of the choke and convince myself that isn't causing problems itself too. Unfortunately the Qjet on my engine has lots of stuff crammed around it, AC compressor is butted right up against the front of the carb, so a very thing and long screwdriver is needed for the left side, and as horter stubby one is needed for the right hand side. There is no chance of pulling the manifold vacuum from the front PCV port as that is completely obstructed, so i used the disconnected line from the air cleaner temperature valve. The choke on the Eldo has 2 other vacuum solenoids on it, and the coil is buried in the top of the manifold, requiring the carb to come off to reach! fortunately i think i'm all good. Anyway - I wanted to say thanks for demystifying this for me, the shop manual description was daunting!

I installed a q-jet on my 76 GMC K25 a few months back and have never felt it is tuned right. Found out it was the electronic choke setup at temp. I had never checked that. I still have my old carb and intend on using your other videos to rebuild it.

A friend asked me to help him rebuild his Qjet and since I haven't touched one since the 70s I came to KZbin for a good How-To. I found if not the best, then certainly one of the best here. As a totally unexpected and very much appreciated bonus you also solved a problem I have with my motorhome (I live in it fulltime) which has a QJet on a 454 BBC. After it sits for a while (short while not months or years) it will not start unless the carb is primed. Total PITA to have to move all my stuff and remove the doghouse cover to do so. Now I know what the problem is and can easily fix it which makes my life so much easier. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Extremely well explained. I have a 76 Eldorado convertible with 48K original that sat in a garage for over 25 years and it has been way too many years since I fooled around with carburetors. It is very hard to start if you do not prime it. So after watching it is clear that I am leaking gas internally. I knew I was getting drain out, since the clear fuel filter was always empty after sitting over night. I did buy an inline check ball to install in the fuel line until I can rebuild it correctly. Again thanks so much, Very well done!

Great video series! QJets got an undeserved bad rap. I think that's because there were SO many of them made, and people would abuse them, or let them sit with gas in them, so there were lots of anecdotes of people thinking their dirty carburetor was a piece of junk. Carburetors are pretty complex pieces of precision machinery. Also, they had to comply with emissions regulations later in their life span - not Rochester's fault, they just had to adjust to keep manufacturing them. As mechanical devices they do wear out and will require periodic repair/rebuilding. This is one of the best video series for instructing you how to do it yourself.

Very good "simplification" of preliminary QJ adjustments. Easy to understand, and no distractions. I would add some info to the choke system, the pull-off, or vacuum break. Not really an adjustment "per-se" but an influence to the choke spring adjustment. Once the eng. is started, it should crack open the choke valve. And for the hot-rodders, the secondary air valve adj. is critical to elimination of the famous "quadre-bog" that has plagued the reputation of this fine carburetor. And lastly, setting the mixture screws for highest vacuum, has always given my street Pontiac V-8s, a lean stumble or minor surge. After finding your sweet spot, I always back them out a 1/2 turn or so more.

Awesome and easy to understand video. I just bought a quadrajet stage 1 from Summit Racing and I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand why my choke blade only opens to approximately 45° with fully warm engine. If I push down on the step cam it goes to 90° and stays there. But it won't do it on it's own. I called Summit tech support who suggested that I wasn't getting 12 volts to the choke spring. I replaced my factory connector and put a new 20 amp fuse in still not opening fully. I called Jet performance who rebuilt this quadrajet and left 2 messages for tech who hasn't returned my calls which is probably the pandemic. It sucks to pay $488 for a rebuilt carburetor and have to mess around trying to get a choke blade to fully open! I adjusted the air screws exactly as you described and when I manually push the step cam down the old k10 runs awesome. Not really into carrying a stool and pulling an air cleaner every time I go somewhere. Keep in mind that this truck is my daily driver. Please tell me that you've dealt with this and hopefully you can suggest what is going on. Thanks

Great video! It's been many years since I rebuilt the 4 barrel Quadrajet carb on the 350 Chevy engine that came in a '72 Chevy Cheyenne pickup that I was restoring, around the year 2000. I believe (if I remember correctly) that this carb was slightly different than the one in your video. I think it had what they called a stove choke where a little metal housing screwed to the exhaust manifold and the spiral operating spring was inside the housing (stove) which operated the linkage that opened up the choke plate as the exhaust manifold heated up. Also, I remember my carburetor had a screw which adjusted a spring to change the spring tension that determined when the secondaries would open up depending on what the engine called for or wanted. This spring could be adjusted to allow the secondaries to open sooner or later depending on engine demand or to explain it a different way you could adjust the secondaries to open sooner as long as the engine didn't stumble upon opening and if it did you could tighten the spring tension to allow the secondaries to open later and get rid of the stumble, adjusting it to whatever made the engine run happy. 😜 This adjustment was useful for tuning an engine that might have been built with a mild camshaft or even something more radical and also what type of exhaust you were running like headers, hi-flow mufflers etc etc since engine demand and hence air/fuel demand changes depending on how an engine is built, what kind of accessories it's running etc etc. Anyway, I noticed that your carburetor either didn't have this adjustment or you just didn't cover it in this video but I'm curious if it didn't why that is and if you've ever dialed a carburetor in that does have this adjustment and what your thoughts and opinions are of them.

Everyone, do yourself a favor and buy a rebuild kit from Cliffs High Performance. Believe me, wish I had the 1st time. That new power piston collar is the bee's knees. Great videos. Much appreciated!

If my car is running rich(spark plugs look dark)(it runs fine and has run fine for years otherwise), should I be leaning out these mixture screws a bit(maybe 1/4 or 1/2 turn clockwise) to reduce gas? Or, is the darkened spark plugs issue a symptom of something different? Thanks!

Excellent video: Thanks so much. Just on layman's input which was not mention. Warm the engine up before setting the fuel air mixture screws, and the idle screw. Plus after setting the carb's idle screw, make sure the throttle cable screw matches that idle screw position. Thanks so much for this video.

My k5 decided to start back firing and popping not allowing it to go over about 45 I floored the throttle and it almost died so I assume I’ve got way to much fuel. It was driving perfect a few days ago

The heads are 8, no HEI distributor-running points (I want to keep factory appearance), and I have a large cam on an original 72 motor. What type of intake gasket should I use? What is the largest cam? You have the BEST videos! I appreciate all of your help!

@@Shoptoolreviews I have a 69 Camaro with a 327 motor that I've owned for 30 yrs, now that I have the time and a little money I want to start a full rebuild, problem number one is the Carb # 17056244 it basically floods like Niagara falls! LOL....you sir are an inspiration!

@@jtonythejett1 The body of that carb is a little different, but the internals should be near identical. I'm sure you can tackle it with no problem. I'd reach out to Mikes Carb. They'll get you setup with the right rebuild kit, and you won't have to buy "everything".
