The truth, IMNSHO, is that Quadrajets are really good carburetors, made so yer Grannie can take her canary to the mountains on vacation without thinking about what makes her car go, but they have a lot of adjustable circuits that guys just don't want to take the time to learn how to work on so they replace 'em with Holleys that barely have any adjustment at all. Simple carbs for simple minds. <br /><br />I learned how to work on Rochesters when my buddy the car mechanic couldn't get a 2-bbl to carburate right on his dirt track Street Stocker. I read a book called something like "Rochester Carbs for Dummies". Simple.<br /><br />Ya think the guy can SEE where he's going outta that rat?
