Agree. I am OK at tuning a carb, but not great. What I can do is rebuild one.
True Story: My Neighbor, Eddie, had a 76 Cadilac Eldorado convertible that had been in storage for several years. It was a little rough around the edges, but it was solid and the 76 FWD Eldorado convertibles are rather hard to find. He decided to sell it. He has a friend who is a mechanic who agreed to get it running well enough to sell. He got it running, changed the oil and plugs and tuned it up, but it was still running rough. He told Eddie that the carb needed to be rebuilt and "Good luck finding somebody in town to do that." Eddie asked me, "What do I do now?" I told him that I could rebuild it. So, we got the carb number and ordered the kit. I watched several videos on YouTube and rewatched a good one several times. The next day, I amazed him with my deep knowledge of Quadrajet carb. I was able to name all the parts and describe what they did. Once it was back on the car, the engine started right up. after a few adjustments, it was purring. I NEVER admitted that I got all that knowledge off of YouTube. :lol::lol:
