Title: Help needed with first Quadrajet install
Post by: Autonutz on May 11, 2016, 10:04:59 pm
Short story my holley died and im hoping to throw this Qjet on to get the truck to my new house in a few days...
The Qjet was last running on my old 350 Chev truck so with a little tweaking it should run well enough to get it to its new home.
Ive made a custom fuel line for the threaded fuel line on the Q jet, the holley only had 1 vacuum hose hooked up so I need to find out which others I need to hook up

Im wondering without some of the things on Q jet diagrams such as the canister etc what I would do with the open ports, plug them or leave them open air etc??

first the valve cover with the pcv valve needs to be flipped around so the valve is at the front for easy hook up -the hose for the pcv will go to lowest large stem at the front of carb (below the fuel filter housing - the larger one plug for now

the vac advance line can go to the small stem near the front of carb

anything else plug for now to get it home
