Well folks, I’ve used this forum for a ton of information so far, but tonight I made it to the point of having to make an account looking for help. I am a first timer working on carbs, or vehicles for that matter. I’ve been rebuilding a Rochester Quadrajet E4ME #17084201 out of a 1984 Camaro z28. The car was my father’s, it sat in storage for 16 years, and he gave it to me a couple years ago. I grew up in it, lots of fond memories, and I’m hoping to get it running how it should be. I know I


should be paying a professional to do this stuff, but spending restoration money isn’t in the cards right now. I made it a lot further than I expected without having to seek guidance, but now I need the experts. I’m down to the last couple pieces, and I can’t for the life of me figure out where one final spring goes. I’m attaching 2 photos, 1 is of the spring and a screw, the second is where I know the screw goes, and believe where the spring is supposed to go. I’m hopeful someone in here can tell me where to hook this thing so I can get the carb back in the car and *hopefully* get it running right.

Thank you for the response. I see where the spring goes across in your photo, but still can’t quite figure out how it’s supposed to sit in there. Is the spring in between the 2 parts that go on that pin and the screw goes threw the hole hole in the spring?

 

Something like this IIRC. The big hole in the spring goes on that spacer behind the screw head. It should move freely once the screw is tightened.

 

here is a similar carb...
