I was having problems with the carburetor that came on the truck, which I had already rebuilt, so I went on a search for another one. I ended up going to a speed shop nearby, and after talking to the guy for a little bit, I got a really nice rebuildable core- a thermostatic choke quadrajet. I also went to O’Reilly’s and got a rebuild kit, so $25 for the core, $21 for the kit, and $3.50 for a can of carb cleaner totals about $50 for a good, rebuilt quadrajet. I’ll end up converting to manual choke, like I did on my current carb, and hopefully it’ll run well.
