Re: Quadrajet Conundrum

66Submarine, you are correct, the primaries are smaller than the 2gv this thing used to have.

geezer#99, Im not sure where my timing is at the moment, but I will find out in the next day or so. I need to go get a timing light.

I DO need to rebuild it since it's pretty evident.

So, just so i'm clear, The carb running too rich at this altitude is NOT a problem? I was always under the impression that I needed to lean it out for altitude since it's been tuned for Sea-level operation.

I was under the impression that changing the timing will affect power, but not necessarily mixture.

I also did some reading on the carb number, turns out this was made in 1982, and was made for Automatic trans applications.
