Question: Carb Replacement

[Corvettekid85]

I want to swap my Rochester 4 Barrel to something new. My vettes been sitting for 10+ years and I just got it started today, but its leaking from every section imaginable. I want to put an Edelbrock 1405 or a 1406 on it but im not sure how hard its going to be to cap off some vacuum lines or what needs to be capped off if I use this carb. I know I need the vacuum line that goes from the carb to the break booster, but is there anything else that needs to be done? Thanks!!!

Get your qjet rebuilt. The Edelbrock carb is a downgrade and frequently needs to be bubba'd into place. Lard Grimsrud is 'the man' when it comes to correctly rebuilding a qjet.

Tried a Holley when they introduced their Qjet replacement back in 1981.

I replaced mine with the Holley Spread-bore and have never been sorry. Very easy to install and worked much better than the old Quad. Had to change the main jets one size small, but that was just my engine set-up.
Good luck
