Does the "5 second rule" apply in the OR?

Anyone who's ever made a living overhauling QuadraJet carbs knows this feeling well

You'll need a lefthanded screwdriver to loosen the 710 cap.

I've been looking for an original water pump for a 68 VW bug. They are impossible to find.

Still looking for a left-handed Kosher bacon straightener.

Amen to that! I was a happy camper when they disappeared. Leaky bastards.

They were only leaky because people who didn't know what they were doing tried to fix them. When I fixed them they stayed dry. Period. We had a training course at the GM Training Tech center when I went there. There was nearly a whole week spent on nothing but the QJ carb. We had to know and memorize every passage, check ball, spring and clip. Our final was the tech instructor taking a totally in pieces and mixed up QJ and we had to put it together perfectly and it HAD to run perfectly on his new Caddy. Each one of us had to pass this or were gone. I could make that carb "sing" a hymn. Honestly, when done right, and tuned correctly they were outstanding carbs. Take one over a Holley any day

I did find an epoxy that did a great job of sealing the secondary wells, but my employees often didn't use it and I had to deal with plenty of hot soak comebacks.

I hadone of my customers tell me one time that their customer asked for a ”710” cap. Wondering what they meant, they went to the customers car and looked under the hood.
Sure enough, their oil cap was missing and every time they looked at it, it looked like that picture!

I loved people looking at my VW type 4 and not understanding what oel was! Forgetting that the car was German of course.

As for the CC -- doesn't it make you wonder how that convenient aperture was created?

Epoxy was definitely NOT the answer to the issue. GM actually came out with a kit (but you had to know to ask for it). Once the kit was in I never had one come back. I'll bet I rebuilt 100 of them in my time too.

It worked for me!
