We seem to get alot of “unfixable” or “cant get the parts” jobs.

Well…. What we cant source we’ll make,
These arent even the correct shackles but i’d
Say they belong if i dident know any better.
Sometimes its not about making a lovely show car its just about keeping vehicles on the road 👍

Keep your eye out when changing carbs. Previous owner upgraded his old quadrajet to a new edelbrock 4bbl and wondered why it dident seem to make much difference if anything it ran abit worse

Stock quadrajet carbs run a offset and mismatched port size on all their carbs. Edelbrock sell this handy little offset to square bore adapter that helps line the ports back up and ensure quality flow.

I’ll comment a photo of the previous alignment, it was bad enough that the gain from a new carb was diminished by an improper fitment.

I just wish they sold the adapter in a few sizes as some edelbrock carbs have offset ports. A small difference is not so bad for a road setup tho
Sorted now 💪
