Carburetor parts
Where would I find primary metering rods and jets, float, and power piston springs? The cars has been running rich for a while and after it gets warm outside I'll have a chance to work it to take it back to specs and start from there. Thanks in advance! :cheers:

Try Napa auto parts if Auto Zone doesn't have what you are looking for. I know Auto Zone has floats and carb rebuild kits.

Edelbrock has a selection as does Carbs unlimited. Do a search for Rochester Quadra-jet and you will get a whole lot of carb shops. Most of them offer parts and pieces.

If you want the Delco parts it will be a big help if you start with the GM part numbers. Lars lists some of the part #s in his papers somewhere (sorry I cant be more specific but lars has done a lot of work in this area and shared it all with us). Armed with the part #s, you can order the stuff from your local Chevy dealer, or our new supporting vendor GMPartsdirect.com .
Edelbrock also makes these parts and sells them under their own part numbers. Find the part #s on their website. You can get the Edelbrock stuff from all the usual places, ie your local speed shop, summit racing, (probably jegs), etc.
Also note that primary rods for a later model Qjet, I think 1975 or 1977??? :confused: and later are not right for the earlier models, 1968, 69 etc.. MJ
