you've been given some good advice. I have worked on many of these same carbs. It can be frustrating. If you are confident that you can do a rebuild or want to learn or have a backup in case you need one later-hint- do a rebuild. A place to get pa...
Hey Kingman, I should have thought of starting with a cold engine. That waythe choke setting would be out of the way. I used to set the old electric & hotair chokes cold by loosening the three screws & rotating the plateto back off the adjustment....
Well I just want to update you all that replied to the discussion. Yesterday I have started on rebuilding the junk quadra-jet, and come to find out the overhaul on it wasn't looking good. I found more things to what was wrong with carb.I tried to ...
Howdy Thar Travis...This Here is the Cisco Kid....LOL
Spike has it dead on..The only other thing I can think of that might help would be to use a vacuum gauge on an open port at base idle after wngine warm up. The Quad-Ra-Junks (just kidding, they...

this happened to a friend of mine, it turned out to be a hanger bearing he has a 2 piece driveshaft
That sounds like the balancer, if it stops when idling and in neutral going down the road, and vibrates when in park and reved. U-joints and tail shafts/housings only affect when moving. check the harmonic balancer on the engine and be sure it is ...
hey alex,
I went through what you explained to me about my truck. I changed the u joints, grease the suspension, changed wheel bearings, and put a new flex plate in. I thought i'd world work changing my flew plate out, but no dice. It still doing ...
Hi Travis,
I recently too had this very same problem with my 1974 F100 with a 302 and 3-speed auto. I swapped out the harmonic balancer like the machine shop said(had it rebuilt and it started vibrating), didn't work. So I replaced the U-joints to...
