Quadrajet power, everyday performance, SMI, etc should all be able to locate a carb for you and have it be rebuilt to new. What's wrong with yours? Is your car a V6? Computer controlled?

What's it doing? not keeping gas in the bowl? Gas isn't reaching the bowl? Could be a bad fuel pump, clog in a fuel line, leaky fuel line, etc.
If it's getting two good streams of fuel (looking down the carb), then the accelerator pump is good and there is fuel in the bowl.

And try to stick to ONE thread, please. Don't clutter up the feed with 30 threads asking the same question.

float level could be too high/low, fuel pump could be bad, clogged filter in the carb, etc.

If your car is a US, then it is computer contrilled unless somebody messed with it which is all too common. Canada base cars are not computer controlled.

Not only base cars, nearly all G bodies till 86. The Hurst/Olds and 442 are exceptions plus no doubt a few others.
