OK, I am at the point where I need to bolt up a carb to my engine. The rotating assembly (crank/rods/pistons) is known to work, but I replaced cam, lifters, and heads. So I need to break in the flat tappet cam and lifters. As my sig suggests, I have a 350 SBC with Edelbrock Perfomer intake and matching cam.
I am considering a quadrajet (non-CCC). I have 2 of them now and may receive more from a buddy of mine who is doing some housecleaning. They need rebuilt, period. This is my first time at rebuilding a carb. Any suggestions? Should I even try it, since I hear how the q-jet is tricky? Here are some books I was considering:
Rochester Carburetors (by Doug Roe)
