Fuel Systems and Drivability / Re: Quadrajet Replacement

I bought two from National, one for my daily and one for a project.

Daily wouldn't adjust on idle screws, turned in completely and the engine still ran.

Sent it back and they fixed it at no cost, even thought just out of warranty.

Replaced the throttle body and some other items.

If they don't have a carb to match what you have, they will rebuild yours. Good outfit!!

Ok, thanks! Mine is all clear, I removed and cleaned. Just one of those little things one doesn't deal with often.

I bought a QJ/Rochester from National Carb. VZ installed and tuned it (with a new engine), haven't touched it since, going on like 8 or 9 years. Gripe! ....has it been that long?!

I haven't replaced the body bushings yet but the fender gap looks pretty good.  I gotta do something about the A-pillar to door gap right above the fender though.  It's pretty nasty.

Well it's been 2 years without an update. We built a house, moved, and I finally built my garage. More truck progress to come soon as it's gone untouched this entire time. Shop teaser pics for now...

started a new instagram account too. check it out @barnbuiltcollection

Not sure. Have seen some online stated as new, not re manufactured but not sure. Not specified as Edelbrock or any other brand.

where are you planning on getting a "new" Q-Jet?  Edelbrock stopped making them a while back.

confused, was the lock bolt the issue?
Compare the parts you get with your originals, I had to fix one a year back where the rack that was sent was designed wrong compared to what came out and it didn't work.  Luckily they had the original that came out that was fine, sadly where they got it from would not allow the return.

Planning to replace the Carter Q-jet soon. Wanting to replace with new. Have not purchased new before, only had rebuild. Is there anything special needed to be done prior to install?

TIA
