Im rebuilding a quadrajet for my truck. I have two good complete carbs, both from '77 pickups..
One of the float bowls had two of the holes plugged with ball bearings, seemingly the same ball bearing used in the accel pump circuit.. The red arrows point to the holes, one of them still has the ball bearing in it..
One of the bearings pushed out, the other is in there a little better.. the OTHER carb I have didnt have the holes plugged, and dough roe's qjet book doesnt mention plugging these holes at all.. Im planning on leaving them out but if someone could shed a little light on the situation, that would be great.
ideas?? im stumped.
