Since there has been a lot of heckling, about newbie style questions being asked here lately in the IH area, I just wanted let all you HECKLERS know that I took the time to hunt down some info regarding my backfiring and hesitation problem with my carb. I believe I have the problem narrowed down to two items. There will be a write-up thread about it as soon as I NAIL the EXACT problem down.

I normally wouldn't do a write-up, but since I was only able to find good info on the problem in my haynes (sp) Quadrajet repair manual (not easily found, as I had to order mine form Amazon.com) I figured it might be worth posting here for future reference..


......Please continue on to the next post as this one requires no response....Thank you!

Heckle, heckle, heckle

I can see why you felt you needed to quote the origional message. Don't want to get me confused as to who you're responding to right? :flipoff2:


heckle yourself :p

Well why not? No one has had any good tech questions for awhile. I must have missed the part where you are using a quadrajunk. Besides this kind of a problem cam give a hardcore mechanic fits sometimes. stupid questions are the ones like wanting to know if 31's will fit on a stock vehicle. Some of the questions like how to seat a tire on the bead are hillarious as hell to some of us that never take a tire to a shop ever, or how to weld a piece of steel. Stuff like how to change gears from a T18 to a D20 is simple for you but is a whole new world for me so you won't hardly ever find me heckling about tech posts I am really interested in the carb problem cause I've got a carter doing the samething on my Olds.

The day you figure out how to put the 4 spd and reverse gears from a wide ratio truck transmission into a transfer case, you let me know. This may be the best low gearing option going yet!! :flipoff2: :p


(heckle, heckle....)

So you liked that huh? I realized what I'd done after it was posted and wondered how long it would take before I caught hell. Welcome back.:flipoff2:

SUUURRRREEEEEE you did......NOT!!! Bwahahahaha LMAO

Actually I did, but I don't expect anyone to believe it anyway. I was in the shop cussing the idiot that wanted me to do a tranny swap for him. When this project started it was supposed to be a np435 (manual) and while I was trying to get the torque converter bolts loose on this C4, I realized I had posted wrong.
BTW where is the write up on the carb?

Well I haven't had a chance to get back to working on it yet. I think it'll be up by monday if I get the "other" shit done quick this weekend.
