Theres way better ways to convert to a 4wheel drive that just looks silly

I worked as a diesel tech for several years. Stupid people and amsoil kept us busy with engine and trans replacements. Still cant figure out why people would run assoil but hey it kept my wallet fat for their mistakes lol. Its amazing how you get these trucks in the shop and theres garbage...

Give this guy a call he rebushes and sets up the carb to your vehicle and altitude and very resonably priced. Qaudrajets is all he works on. He has hundreds of them in stock. ALZ CARBZ 208-200-2853, tell him Cody sent ya he will hook ya up with a good carb and warranty.

Awesome job!

pm sent :D

I cant find any g bodys in the local wrecking yards, is there any other vehicle that has the same radiator top plates that will fit a gbody?

A tick will either be an exhaust leak or a dirty lifter. You said your oil is dirty that could mean a lifter but you also said you did some work on the exhaust so check there first.

Your starter needs to match the number of teeth on the flywheel then you can shim it to get it perfect. Theres 2 sizes of flywheels 153 tooth and 168 tooth (i think those are the numbers) and a few oddballs like the buick 3.8 which is 160 tooth. But it sounds to me your using the wrong starter...

I like it. Send me one and ill be a test mule for ya :mrgreen:

Im not sure how it worked he didnt have any pics and he cant remember the details just something he remembered buying for one. If you can find an old timer that builds trans for a living you may get a lil more info on it.

I asked my dad about those old overdrives he said they worked great if you knew how to use them, the problem was you would forget you had it in overdrive and stall the car so the public never realy liked them. He was a gear head racer back in the 60s he liked them for cruising and trips and they...

If computer doesnt have a temp signal it will run full rich

For cars that dont have titles or cant get titles turning them into race cars is better than a trip to the scrappers lol

Replace the plastic crap float with a brass one along with a new needle and seat, the old floats get saturated easily especialy with the new ethanol crap gas. I had to do this with mine it had the same symptons good luck

Ok thanks for the response guys i have a good starting point.

Anybody know what sizes the jets and rods should be for a non computerized q jet should be for the buick v6? Im converting my 83 regal 4.1 from ccc to non ccc and need the stock jet sizes to get it all going. The marine jetting for a 3.8 is 66 main jets, 36r rods and DH for secondarys. Thanks in...

Sounds to me like your float is stuck. I would grab a rebuild kit and just freshen it up. Dont use silcon on gaskets for a carb. When you rebuild a carb always soak the gaskets in wd40 that way they wont stick and tear up if you ever have to take it apart.

Go to summit or jegs website and compare pics of the different brand of carbs to what you have, thats the easiest way to tell.

A new 9 dollar gasket is cheap insureance if it fixes the problem then your done, if not then your in need of a carb rebuild kit. Another thing to check when you have the carb off make sure all the bolts are tight on the bottom side of the carb they have a tendancy to loosen up after awhile and...

The problem with the thin gaskets is they dont completley seal the front of the carb, so when you get on the gas the engine vacuum pulls the gasket into the cahannels on the front of the carb just enough to cause a vacuum leak. When the car sits for awhile the gaskets returns to its original...
