so if someone could let me no what is better just buying a new one or paying some one to do a rebuild..............and suggestions which carbs am i limited two

no one?

might as well just rebuild the one you have. It's not rocket science. You ever built model cars as a kid? Yea, well this is pretty similar, just smells worse.

Aftermarket your choices are pretty slim. I think JET can build you one, but don't choke when you see the price.

is it hard to rebuild one!!!!!!

no, just keep track of all the little parts.

I agree Rebuilding the one you have is best plus you get a great learning experience. Just have a very clean work area and lay the parts out so they are easy to keep track of. Also try to find a book or article on the web that gives step by step instructions on rebuilding your sytle of carb.

Am I Gonna Need Any special tools

You'll need a dwell meter and maybe the idle mixture screw wrench. You can buy more tools but can usually get by without them. There's a recent thread on rebuilding the ccc-qjet, maybe under Nate86?

Yeah thnaks that was my next question for you guys is there any books or articles that i can buy or find to help me out along the way??????????????

Rochester carbs - by Doug Roe
Rochester carbs - By haynes? or chilton?

roe's book is badass

highly reccommended if you are going to try to rebuild it

rebuild kit form napa are pretty good

some parts dont come in th kits, including a floatsome other partd



q jets are not complicated, wel they dont have a billion parts to fall out and losoem i have been inside of many, many q jets and some other carbs over the years


some i have successfully "rebuilt" and alot of them also just never run right regardless of what you do

to replace the throttle shaft bushings it best to have a press

i ahve never replaced any so far

if your throttle shaft bushings are sloppy worn enough then can allow manifold vacuum leakage

thats not good and canmake it run oddly

i bet a few ppl at any given moment have a problem with their car due to just this

and there is a very siple way to test for this leakage

hope any of this helps you at all,


you should use google and wikipedia.com to find out info too


:"D

thanks
