- I had the same problems with my '71 Olds et Quadrajet. I could never
- find suitable pieces, and dislike those exhaust heater gizmos. I
- finally bought a new Edelbrock carb with an easy to adjust electric
- choke. Very few problems since. ( The Quadrajet was a bit old anyway
- -- like 115000 miles old. )
-
- This solution cost about as much as a carb rebuild, a new choke, and two
- missed appointments/meetings. Call Summit Racing Equipment...
