Leaking Quadrajet

[Steeveedee]

I bought Cliff's book and a kit from him a few years back. I got the cam for the secondary metering rods in the kit. Mine had broken, and fortunately it's nylon and made it through the engine without causing damage. That's the only one I've ever seen broken, and I've rebuilt dozens of carburetors. I took the baseplate to a local-ish shop for the bushing installation. The guy wasn't too happy that he didn't get the whole rebuild. But I try not to spend money when I don't have to. Cliff was as surprised as I was that it was the original carburetor.
