when hank was my instructor at assiniboine college we hotrodders aquired the the help of jim taylor in the machine shop to do some fancy stuff on a quadrajet...all the info came from hot rod magazines,,,pretty sure the book on how to hot rod quadrajets would have in all in there,,really enjoyed the time spent with your dad
yes all his books and magazines disappeared for some reason. the hot rod magazines were a wealth of information back then. good to see my dad taught you. thansk
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ since you're still addressing the carburetor problem Joey, you need to check out Thunderhead 289. This guy is an engineer that has really comprehensive videos on carburetors of all kinds. He will definitely answer any and all questions you have. Thanks for another awesome video and enjoy your Sunday guys ✌️🇺🇲
@@kingofobsolete4789 I hear you. At 60 before I tackle a new problem I research it thoroughly to make sure I understand it completely. I'm quite certain Joey you got this ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦
10 pm here in Boston, you're doing great i wish you started your TH-cam channel years ago, i remembered stumbling upon the KoO website back in the AOL dial up days, this regular schedule programming is the cats meow, thanks joe and staff, keep it going, say hi to Brad if you see him,👍🇺🇲
yes we were paying for high speed internet that was not high speed. it was elon musk spending is childhood summer in saskatchewan on the family farm made sure we got his starlink dish long before others then i could load up videos. thansk
Good luck if u ordered new cams. Everybody on utube has been having trouble eapecially with comp cams. I would try Isky or Howard and run rotella T4 20-50 oil. Has all the dinasours ya need for flat tappet cams 👍Just what Ive learned
Hi Joey and Xena, thanks for another great video. Joey, you mentioned a floor crane in the Hoe Shack. The only thing with them is that you really need a clear floor to move it around. Personally I’d get a bit animated and my language colourful before long. It looks like you have insulation and power preventing access to the container itself. A monorail like you previously reported on in the old cat tank shed wouldn’t work. If you had enough head height under the ceiling, a full width gantry supported by vertical posts against the walls right to the floor to suit maybe up to 600 kg would completely remove the need to keep moving stuff around that’s on the floor. It could hang down a bit if you always parked it at the back of the shack, you’d have to duck when using it though. Your lighting might need to be reconfigured perhaps to thin profile light panels. Anyway just throwing around ideas. Keep on keeping on 😊.
Thanks for the great learnings about quadrajet carbs. My dad had a 1985 Dodge 4x4 truck with a factory 360 motor that came with a GM stamped quadrajet carb. Kind of odd. Always was a chore to cold start the motor, especially in Saskatchewan winters.
yes odd combination. on my 86 Dodge Head Hanger, i tossed the GM 1 wire alt on it so it would run after spending lots of money on dodge parts that never worked. thansk
Morning from Gagetown, great video king Joey, looking forward to hearing the old dodges doing the vroom vrooms. Thanks for the great video, hope everyone has a great day 🇨🇦🇺🇸
King 🤴, thanks for another great video 📹. I'm still staying inside. It finally got out of the 100F+ today in Louisiana. It was only 99F today with the humidity down to only 80%. Talk to you later.
I had a 1979 gmc Jimmy with a quadrajet made by carter for gmc. Definitely an odd duck. I always copy gaskets on material so I don't have to buy or rethink them again 🤘
Just for learning purposes: a small block chevy “3/4” race cam has a lift between.480 to .500. It was a generic term back then, “ full race” was over .500 lift. (I googled specs) PS if you install a cam that is nearing .500 lift , you should check valve spring pressures. Probably pushing the limits on stock stuff.
also getting into dangerous territory with GM heads with pressed in rocker studs if you run stiffer springs the studs need to be "pinned" or they will pull out of the head....common... but not good. 🤠😁 btw...it's robertson not robinson but ya got the square part right...lol
I can tell you from experience, if you are dealing with a low compression '70's small block with stock, large chamber heads, putting any kind of a "big: cam" in will kill some low end torque, and the heads/intake etc will "run out of breath" before it can pull the RPM's the cam is intended to do. NOW what I did to overcome that? Put some 58cc chamber 305 heads on, sure I lost valve size and port volume, BUT I took it from 8.5;1 to 10:1 (measured and calculated) went from a 14:12 @ 96 to a 13:22 @ 103.9 in a 3200 lb S10. With an overdrive and 3.73 gears, drove four hours to the track, swapped the slicks on, beat on it all day, and drove 'er home.
Two things for easy lazy mans basic tuning; The spring on the primary jets & the primary jet & rod size. The spring is based on vacuum the motor produces and the timing with relation to that vacuum of the rods getting pulled out of the jets. If you have a fine scale I would do nothing more than measure compression tension to whatever height feels right to you to document what you currently have to see what differences you have between each carb (there is a correct way, can't remember what it is though). Document jets, primary rods and secondary rods. I've never had much issue just blindly mixing and matching qjets, however I've had mostly mid 70's qjets in my collection that came out of 3/4 ton trucks and van the newest has been an 83 before it really got hit by the smog era nonsense but still needed a bit of hot rodding on the secondaries to wake it up--even with a cam, I did not change the spring on the primary rod hanger or change primary jets. It started life on a 305, ended up on a 350 with a mild cam (460" lift). At 21m16s, that clear line you have connecting vacuum ports; I wouldn't do that. If you are mixing a manifold vacuum source and a ported vacuum source the carb won't be happy. Also so you know, just because the port is in the same place on a carb doesn't mean it is the same type of vacuum. Always check before hooking stuff up, especially if you have wildly different year carbs. But I've got two in the garage same year, different vacuum/manifold port configuration. Secondary tweaking we can get to later, but since you are not ripping down the highway doesn't matter much (or are you?), the secondaries won't be opening tooling around the kingdom. Those dual jets you want to give away, don't yet. They are the front half of a quadrajet; more primary jets! And hanger springs.
thank you for taking the time to make a long comment for everyone to read. i used cut and paste to save it in word, then i can increase the font to read and lead tonight. thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 Just sharing the info. And as long as I remember everything right... =-) Something you can do right now, tap on the secondary air door of all your qjets. That way you get a feel for how much tension they have right now to your finger. I adjust them by their feel, again, not by the book, but it works for me. Used to spend hours on a back road tweaking and running to get things where I wanted them. If they are stock, they are going to be tough to open. Also see if your blades open freely or "stuck"--which can happen if the case deforms from overtightening the back two screws, as you probably noticed years ago theres nothing under the back to support it. If it is jammed take a half round file to the carb body and shave just enough off so it doesn't stick. Dont try to bend it back to shape or you will have multiple pieces in your hand and a paper weight. If you do have a bent top case just mind it closely when installing it if you see it deforming, back offf a hair and resist the temptation to tighten it again. While you got them apart, get rid of the little lock off lever on the secondary shaft (passenger side of carb, sits on a boss with a couple keys 180 degree apart. You warm up your vehicles, and are smart enough not to lay into it cold so no need to have a potential lockout when you want to hammer it if the chock decides it wants to close a bit.
Oh yeah, and check the numbers on the dual jets, primary rods are different lengths on the carbs starting with 170, that you do not want to mix n match--I always kept hangers with the specific carb so never much cared to know more about it. Jets are still the same. The springs will interchange.
The Quadrajet with the front fuel was used in Pontiac or Oldsmobile engines and could have been as big as an 850 CFM you may want to save the Dually jet for parts if you need them
if you're increasing the airflow in an engine with a bigger camshaft, you will have to either fatten the idle mixture or put bigger jets or thinner metering rods to fatten the fuel mixture to make it run better with the bigger cam. A basic stock quadrajet will run an engine that has a RV camshaft without any major work or adjustments. Other than myself, I don't know anyone in my generation who knows how to work on the Rochester Quadrajet carburetors.
yes i think you are correct, i do remember now changing to the RV cam and never touching the quad-jet carb. it was always the hot rod truck that required adjusting till we got it figured out. excellent info and thank you for sharing thansk
I have a 3 spd manual in a early 70,s chev van, too far away to do you any good, carburetors have to be really clean inside ,also fuel tank & lines, i put on a racor on 1 truck & drop down filter on another to catch extra debris & inline at carburetor as i learned again recently filters don't stop water. The King, Zena & Sir Rodney are doing a good job .
King, Those adjustments you're referring to require drilling out channels and orifices. That means they are forever modified/ permanent. And it's not even an exact science. I knew 2 carb shops who did it and they got $125/ hour back in the late 60's when carbs were laying around everywhere. (so if they scrapped one they just tossed it into a pile for parts) It's not for the faint of heart. Might be better to advance the cam timing a few degrees or go to straight intake manifold vacuum for the distributer vacuum advance to pull the timing up as soon as there is any vacuum. Diddling with vacuum advance is not going to change top end performance, because there is almost no vacuum at WOT. I've done the switch to straight manifold vacuum many a time with great success. In fact now that I think about it, if I were you I'd try that first thing. Just put the hose on any nipple with man/vac. . Another thing, I am of the opinion that a little air in the see thru inline fuel filter is normal. It may disappear someday, but as long as the level of fuel is up to the outlet, you're getting full fuel. If you reposition it more vertical so the bubble goes out the outlet it'll be gone. But it doesn't hurt anything, it's just trapped air. Now, FYI: Those other carbs, like the 2-G's, are about a dime a dozen here in the states. They came on everything up til about 1979. GM kept using them on boats for a while after that, but In 1980, GM vehicles for California went electronic . How do I know? I was there at GM in emissions when Calif Air Resources Board proposed rules called for electronic A/F control in 1979. That was the beginning of "Closed-Loop" fuel control. By 1981 the 2-G, name was gone. The electronic version was then called DJ2-E2SE and it went across the U.S. Lastly if those old carbs are pristine, someone may want them. OK FB, ben/ michigan
We use to have different size main jets we had to figure out with trial and error depending on what cam and cylinder bore the engine had . On the quadrajet carbs but once it was figured out and the adjustments for when the 4 barrel kicked in they worked better and longer than the Holley carbs
yes i remember dad have a fishing tackle box with drill bits and lots of jets and rods plus a note book to mark everything. the Q-jets have been good to me over the years. thansk
Joey and folks, what happens if you take a slow car with weak motor, small carb, etc and put that 2.08 final -gear- ratio in it? Would it eventually reach 145mph?
@giork2828 - I don’t think so. At the end of the day you’d get up to a certain speed and the engine room will report back “Cap’n, I canna get any more out of this combination”. You can’t attain something if you haven’t got enough.
I see the Quadrajet haters keep coming out, if they are properly tuned they don't bog. ANY carb that isn't set up right will not run well. The Edlebrock haters, the Q jet haters, they are all the same. Easy to bash what you don't understand. Is it an ideal drag racing carb? No! But is it a great all around carb for street use that gets good part throttle fuel economy with the small primaries, but rips when opened up? YES! I get 19-20 MPG on a small block with a 224/230* @ .050" cam in my S10 with an overdrive and 3.73's
yes there will always be haters no matter what. i have always thought the q-jets were good carbs and have served me well for over 40 years. plus i am learning. thansk
Learned something new again. The service truck I have which was my wife’s dad from Sask. has an Autoline carb tag on the carb. I did not know they were from Winnipeg. Also too it is possible I’ve seen your hot rod back in the day in Minot but who knows. I was busy chasing Minot women back then. Lol
yes autoline has always been well known and only deal through there dealers. i remember dropping carbs off in brandon at an auto parts store then a week later it was back from autoline rebuilt. august long weekend 1985 was when we were there with the 37 dodge hot rod. we went to see the air force planes and had a great time. it was also a hot rod event weekend so i avoided them big time. i remember the planes and the plane nerds well. the sounds and feeling of a fully loaded bomber taking off in hopes of it being a war game during the cold war is something you will never forget. thansk
Getting the jets sized to the engine is key I have drilled jets to the size I need due to lack of budget by using a drill chart and numbered and letter drills . Of course this only works if you need to add fuel I dont know how you would get smaller jets around there unless you order an assortment good luck
yes my dad had like a fishing tackle box with jets and drill bits plus a note book on what size did what. Quadrajet Power offers the items needed for performance as they say. thansk
when i was working on stuff rain or shine not sure when it happen just like wet cold but your just cover in mud its bad now but back then you just shapoo in rain shower in change out got going like that still never forget your repair times better then broken or broke down times you trust your skills machine knew it now days just to many others who just dont understand play by ear or hands on took many chains run then in box end never loose your tools paint them a color tied string to o i can retrive them .

yes autoline has always been well known and only deal through there dealers. i remember dropping carbs off in brandon at an auto parts store then a week later it was back from autoline rebuilt. august long weekend 1985 was when we were there with the 37 dodge hot rod. we went to see the air force planes and had a great time. it was also a hot rod event weekend so i avoided them big time. i remember the planes and the plane nerds well. the sounds and feeling of a fully loaded bomber taking off in hopes of it being a war game during the cold war is something you will never forget. thansk
they want me to pay for a membership for no adds lol.

no idea, i get the ads at this end. thansk
Getting the jets sized to the engine is key I have drilled jets to the size I need due to lack of budget by using a drill chart and numbered and letter drills . Of course this only works if you need to add fuel I dont know how you would get smaller jets around there unless you order an assortment good luck
yes my dad had like a fishing tackle box with jets and drill bits plus a note book on what size did what. Quadrajet Power offers the items needed for performance as they say. thansk
Them carter's what did they come off of . I run 3 carbs on my 61f100 with a straight 6 but it's not the 300
the carters came off the the older trucks from the late 1930s. thansk
Sometimes I post comments here, but "the tube" auto-deletes them. I blame it on the 'algorithm'... oh well, that's the modern world we live in now.
