Re: 71 K5 Build

I have been having some issues with the Rochester carb that came on the truck and the problems seem to progressively worsen no matter how many adjustments I make to the Quadrajet... Sputtering, bogging, backfiring, and I noticed that someone (PO) removed some of the choke parts. The Quadrasuck is probably not really worth rebuilding, so I bought a Holley 1850 - 600 cfm carb for 50 bucks I found on craigslist... only to realize that I'm gonna need a new intake too (I thought I was gonna need one, but someone else assured me that I didn't???) Anyway... 500 bucks at Jegs and I should have her running again (and much better) by next week.
