hey yall,
from the man who gave you the fasterest camper in the west,
well he needs to get his quadrajet carby, runnin properly,
needs a kit,,maybe??,,, because cant adjust idle air mixture screws?
could there be another reason for this??
pipes on incorrectly?? something else? leaking air?? maybe,,
or does it need a complete kit??
and if so,,,is it far beyond the capabilities of the basketcase??
to put a kit thru it??
be honest,, i can take it,,
thanks already.

If you block any of these hoses while its running does it effect the way it runs?
If so, that hose should be fitted to something or blocked off.
Also, what is the idle speed? If it is too fast, the mixtures screws wont make much difference to the way it
