Thanks Peter, that's what I'm going to do. I want to do it right the first time. I received his book on rebuilding the Quadrajet for Christmas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking to rebuild the Quadrajet carb on my 1979 L48. I see so many places to buy the rebuild kits and the prices range from $27 to $75. I want to do this right the first time with a quality kit. Where can I find a rebuild kit that has quality parts? The carb has 60K miles. Will the new...

The engine ran normally after the spark plug replacement. I have noticed that the car had no acceleration when entering the highway from the on ramp. The car did sit a while in the previous owners garage. I was planning on rebuilding the quadrajet anyway due to the length of time the car was...

I just replaced the plugs.

Hello Forum members I have an interesting problem that I hope isn't serious. I have a 1979 L48 with just over 60k miles. When I bought the car, about 500 miles ago, the car would spit carbon out the exhaust pipes at initial start up. I changed the plugs to the correct heat range, AC Delco...

Thanks Frank and Hib, I was planning on replacing the valve cover gaskets anyway. That's my weekend project, among other fixes.

Took the vette out today to a car show and everything was great. After the show we went out for dinner so I put in the tops and closed the windows. When we finished dinner about an hour later I started the car and powered the windows to go down. The drivers side window went all the way down as...

Hello Forum Members, I have a '79 L48 Vette and I might have a big problem. I took my car to get detailed at a local detailer two weeks ago. I had them clean the engine so that it would be clean for the new year. My AC was working great before I took the car in but now when I turn on my AC...
