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. bcb
