Geez, I remember in '76 I could get rebuilt 2-bbl Rochester for 25
bucks, a quad for 50. *By '90 I couldn't find a Rochester quadrajet
for my 350ci for less than about 400 bucks.

That Rochester quadrajet (aka "quadrabog) *has got to be the most miserable
carburetor to rebuild ever designed. *Had one on a boat that despite the

Had one in my '67 GTO that was fine however, so I never touched it.

I agree! You would think that your carb is crapped up because of poor
performance, and rebuild it, and it'd run the exact same afterword! I
learned early in my gearhead days that the perfect fix for a Rochester
Quadrajet was a Holly 650 double pumper!
