That Rochester quadrajet (aka "quadrabog) has got to be the most

carburetor to rebuild ever designed. Had one on a boat that despite the
best efforts of several people to rebuild, adjust, repair, etc., never
ran
right.

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

I had one in my Corvette that I couldn't get right, until I replaced
the float.



They had some orifices or holes that many recommended using epoxy to close
in order to get them to run properly. All I know is that if they were
"right" they were fine, but a bear to try and fix if screwed up.
