Rochester Quadrajets tend to mystify people because of the various model names assigned to them by GM.
Add to that a redesign in the '70s and the confusion only grows.
In this video we'll learn the different model names and also how to differentiate between early and later-model Qjets. Enjoy!
How to de-bog your Quadrajet part 1
Sorry guys, I got the videos a bit out of order.
The Rochester Quadrajet has gotten a bad rap over the years, often called a Quadrabog or Quadrajunk.
In fact, this is a great multipurpose carbureter once you understand how they work and what not to do to them.
In this clip I introduce you to the Quadrajet and begin explaining the theory of operation of these units.

750 vs. 800cfm Rochester Quadrajets-how to tell them apart
There exists a ton of misinformation regarding the actual airflow capacity of the Rochester Quadrajet. Not many people know how many variations there are or how to tell them apart.
Here is a simple video explaining how to identify each size based on casting design. I will cover the "cfm-limited" carbs in a separate video.
Everything you wanted to know about automatic chokes but were afraid to ask pt2
I've noticed many people drive vehicles with inoperative chokes. Even though chokes can be intimidating, repairing and adjusting them actually is very simple.
So, stop pumping that accelerator and follow along as we look at how chokes work and how to repair them.
How to identify 4 barrel carburetors
Here's a guide to help identify the most common 4bbl carbs including Edelbrock, Quadrajet, Holley and Thermoquad.
There are a few older or more obsolete carbs not shown including Rochester 4G, Autolite-Motorcraft 4100/4300/4350 and Carter WCFB that I'll detail in the future provided I can actually find one.
How to de-bog your Quadrajet part 2
The Rochester Quadrajet has gotten a bad rap over the years, but it's actually an excellent carburetor once you understand how they work.
Often referred to as "Quadrabog" or "Quadrajunk", many of the issues these units suffer stem from neglect, or "modifications" that do more harm than good.
Being a spreadbore, air-valve secondary design, the Quadrajet is capable of flowing 750 or 800 cfm of airflow, eliminating the need to buy different carburetors when your set-up changes. In addition, the small primaries make for great drivability and fuel economy.
In this clip, I'll discuss theory of operation on the secondary side, since that's where most problems arise. So, leave your preconceived notions at the door and let's see what makes these carburetors tick.
New quadrajet set up
New air-gap manifold and custom/rebuilt q-jet. Sounds good but I still need to set the timing on the distributor and the carb is tuned already. Hope you like, nothing to fancy just a few revs and walk around...the Exhaust is true dual no x/h pipe and it has cherry bomb glasspacks(3 inch)
