this think is a MUD DIGGER! the frost went out westerday and my dad got the 87 r30 454 dually western hauler baried up to the running bords in our yard with a flat bed on it. the idiot thought that he could drive it through an area in our yard that has never had grave befor and went straite down! so I threw a chain on it with the 80 siverado 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive and pulled it staite out with no issues on the first try!! covered the hauler with mud I was suprised it did what it did!

So I looked at the carb last night, is there suposed to be a mixture screw in the front middle of the quadrajet carb? I have bean degreasing the motorand it looks like there is a spot where a gas/air mixture screw is suposed to go, but is missing. Not shure where the ajuster screws are located at.

There's two and sometimes they are under factory installed plugs if no one has removed them.  They are idle mixture only (not the entire range).

where abouts should they be located at. would a quadrajet off of a 454 work on a 350 Sb?

The plugs usually blend in and are hard to see.  They are at the front bottom of the carb., basically against the gasket.  One on the left, one on the right, something like 3" or 4" apart.  I have never had to pull the plugs out of one, but I think you use a self tapping screw and pull them out with channel locks or something similar by pulling on the screw.  A slide hammer would be ideal.  A 454 quadrajet could work, but it will need a lot of tuning.  I suspect you would have to change the jets and metering rods in addition to normal adjustments.

Finally attempted painting my door panels a couple of weeks ago and look nice. wound up sanding them down, priming them 2 or 3 time and them painting them black, I may try to paint them red again but for now black looks way better than faded out dry rot. Here is a link to a picture of them back on the truck.
