Power piston setting
I recently rebuilt my quadrajet, but I didn't make a note of how many turns out my power piston was before removal. What would be a good setting to start off at.
Thanks

you could tighten it, then back it off 2.5 turns. I think that's a spec somewhere, but that's not at all what i'd recommend.
I think you should read this, for the best way to modify it.

edit: not sure if this is just specific to non-cc q-jets, I forget what the cc-qjet was like, the one time I took one apart...
