Anyone knowledgeable with carburetors that could point me...

Another source to check out for having your Quadrajet rebuilt is a small shop in Waring, TX called Quadrajet Power. I had him build me a carb and he supplied the core. I haven't received it yet so I can't give a review but I liked what I saw on his website and on his Facebook page so I went with him. If you check out his Facebook page I think you will see my carb as he notes "going out to a G-Body". I was impressed by his sites that he seems to know these carbs well and appears to really pay attention to detail.

The old Quads are easy to rebuild. I've done a few all back to factory specs or slight modifications.

As for bolt on Holley makes a bolt on Quad replacement and I have it on my Monte. 80555C. 650cfm vacuum secondary's.

Normally I would advise to learn how to rebuild one. But I can sense the OP is not into it and the E-Qjets are pretty tough even for a pro. Of course if you could score a swap meet or EBAY carb cheaply then you could just clean it up and use it. THEN get the original done right.

I read all this thread and have some questions for you guru's that know more than I do. That's why I love this sight. I learn alot of things that will help me and prevent bigger problems when it comes time to tackle a project.
So I have an 87 Monte SS (all original and untouched) and the Qjet on it needs rebuilt. I have rebuilt many Holleys and Eddies, have tuned them to run very well, and love to dive into things like this to expand my knowledge of these cars and anything about them. I bought a rebuild kit at NAPA for this car, I gave them the numbers right off the carb to get the right kit. Is this a good kit with the right parts you guys are talking about or should I get a different one? I have never done a Qjet before and should I take on this endeavor or let a professional? I have many Qjets on the shelf and I could experiment with one of those first. How do you set the fuel solenoid with a dwell meter? I have a dwell meter and can use it for this. Any replies would be great and THANKS very much!

I can do old Q-jets in my sleep but have failed miserably to rebuild an E-Qjet. Others have done it. I would open a new topic and post your questions. No one will see them here.

Just take your time, take lots of pictures, and the internet is your friend.

As long as we are here, does anyone know if you can just strip and clean an E-Qjet like an old style one? The one time I attempted it I didn't have the tools to check adjustments so I made some. Can you just reassemble it the way it was or must you change things?

No reason why you shouldn't be able to. Just keep track of parts and make sure all CCC parts are out/off and clean/replace those separately. It's still a carb after all.

Having the special gauges does make setting the CCC Qjet easier but they have been discontinued, but you can make your own. http://www.thirdgen.org/forums/carburetors/603962-where-can-i-get.html#post4835862

There is also a tool set for removing the jets, adjusting the TPS, etc which is still available, Thexton 362. http://www.autotoolexpress.com/thx362.html

Just be very careful when reinstalling the lean stop screw, it is easy to strip, before to press the plunger down to relive tension as you adjust the screw. There was a lean stop repair kit if you do strip it but the kit is discontinued, but old stock can be found if you hunt hard enough.
