I just got my Quadrajet in the mail today and got it all torn down. I was just wondering is there anything I should change about the carb, besides a rebuild kit?

Pretty much a junkyard. There is not alot of places that sell resto parts for the Cutlass. People that do have stuff, there is not many parts made and they are also very expensive,

It should be no harder than it was when you took it out. Just make sure you have all of the right hardware for the different sway bar.

As long as its a mechanical stock fuel pump it should not cause any problems. All carbs run at very low pressure no matter what, so it most likely is not your problem.

Upgrading front sway bar (Chassis / Drivetrain / Suspension / Wheels)

Ridgeline — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:03:16 GMT

Subject: Upgrading front sway bar
I got an 1 1/4 sway bar to put on my Camino. I was wondering if there are hidden problems to changing it. I have new stabilizer bolts and mounting rubbers. It looks to be fairly simple but I been wrong before!

thanks in advance

Ok, so I’m a lil ashamed to say this. But at this point, I just want to pay someone to take care of my carb problem, being that this car is my daily driver. I called up a carb shop yesterday, and I spoke to one of the guys there. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about as I asked him questions. He did suggest that I pinch the fuel line and let the car die, and might clear up the dripping. So I did this morning, and the dripping stopped until I released the hose. I also notice that the idle straighten out. Could it be that I’m getting to much pressure from my fuel pump? It just doesn't make any sense, because the fuel pump that I’m using was from my old 305. I mean the fuel pump isn't that old, I replaced it 3 month after getting my car back in august. The fuel pump that came with my crate engine, had a clearing issue. It would fit do to the frame, so I used the one I bought for my old tired 305. What do you guys think?

RE: polished or chrome wheels.. (Chassis / Drivetrain / Suspension / Wheels)

Tony_SS — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:14:14 GMT

Author: Tony_SS
What color is the Monte you're putting the wheels on? That makes a difference. I would go chrome... polished just looks cloudy after awhile.

I like those Coys alot. I like the gunmetal grey color the best though - that's what I'd go with eitherway.

I've seen them in person and they look so much better. To me, chrome is played out and can look cheap IMO.

If you need help with wheel/tire sizing just let me know. My wheels dont rub anywhere and there were no mods for them to fit.

Also something to consider if you go 18's out back, it will look good, but you see the puny drum brakes. Same with the fronts.. it makes the factory brakes look alot smaller not to mention stop ALOT WORSE.. Dont sweat it though... just plan on making the stop alot sooner.

Mark, I know you want 15's, but I'd still go 16's. Our Montes look great with 16-17" wheels.

So I ran across this cool build project and as I was reading I noticed it was in Crossville, TN ... where I live! This is crazy. I'm going to see if I can get ahold of them next week and take a look at this in person:
