Hahaha, yes, I have. I work on all kinds. That was one of my main goals. I wanted to learn all I could on all the carbs. I even have the ho-made wrenches for the imports, hahaha. I thought maybe by him seeing some writting on the pictures, it would give him a better idea. That's

Cool, me also. I went to each type of carb school. I really enjoyed learning all those things. My favorite one to learn was the older Ford variable vennturi type. I think I was the only one here in my town that did them. Back then, they wanted 800.00 to rebuild them. I charged 500.00. I think I even have a couple of the diaphrams for them, hahaha.

i messed with them a little but we changed some over to holley. i really didnt know what i was doing.

You guys are great! I'm saving this page to my favorites because Brian is always a few months ahead of me, maybe a year! Anyway I also have a Quadrajet I plan to use for a while but my brake booster is just a plastic fitting on the power brake unit while you show a threaded connection at the carb end. What kind of a tube do I need to connect the brake cannister to the carb?

3/8 inch double flared fuel line screws into the fitting that is on the back,bend to fit and then a rubberhose and clamps to plastic check valve on brake booster.
