I’ve been a Quadrajet fan for a long long time, but that’s because we ran NHRA Stock Eliminator, and in it we had to run a Quadrajet for our particular combo. I’ve built a ton of them over the years and they are great carburetors for street use. They get a bad rap sometimes, but overall they are cool as well because they have small primary throttle bores and giant secondary bores. So when the secondaries come in with a Quadrajet, you know it by sound and feel. And Q-Jets aren’t hard to rebuild, but they are different than a Holley by a lot.

In this video we’ll see Scott Liggett of Rebeldryver’s Garage rebuilding one so you know how. After all, sometimes you can just do a simple carb rebuild and get all the performance back that you need from your Q-Jet.

Video Description:

I got a free Q-Jet four barrel carb from a friend and I wanted to rebuild it for possible use on a future project. In this video, I will show you the easy, step by step way to disassemble and clean the carburetor by not complicating things.

I like the KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid. So, I won’t complicate this process with a bunch of useless garbage that won’t make the carburetor run any better. In part 1, I will show you how to take it apart and clean it. Look for part 2, where I show you how to put it back together correctly and fix some of the problem areas of these carbs.
