I used to mess with my old quadarjet all the time on my old classic.
There is a the secondary butterfly flap right. Underneath towards the secondary is a Allen screw underneath that holds a tension screw you can see on the side. Its a bit tricky to get the tension just right. Just have the Allen wrench handy with the small screw driver you will need....and hold the screw steady as you loosen the Allen screw (which is just the hold down) The flat head screw puts the tension on the secondary, the Allen just holds the tension in place. I found on my 650 quadarjet about 1 or 1 and 1/2 turn on the tension screw was enough......NOBODY likes to BOGGED DOWN!!!!
in cars, most of the time the carbs are two barrel which means there are two main terminals, if you want more power, you'd go with a four barrel carb witch has four main terminals.
yes. it has a four barrel computer controled electric carburetor.
A small one with vacuum secondaries.
I was looking at my Chilton's Auto Repair Manual and for a 1978 Mercury Cougar it only shows a two barrel carburetor for the 351 Windsor V8 engine
In older cars 4v = a four barrel carburetor. 2v would be a two barrel and a 1v would be one barrel
425 ci engine with a four barrel carburetor or electronic fuel injection.
You can find a vacuum hose routing diagram for a Quadra jet four barrel carburetor at most auto-parts stores. Some Ford dealerships will also have the vacuum routing diagram.
I would say a 500 CFM but no bigger than a 600 CFM. I don't know if you are looking for an answer on flow (CFM) or just a generic answer like "two barrel" or "four barrel". As I recall, in 1963 the 283 was only offered with a two barrel carburetor. I believe the rated horsepower was 195. The carburetor was either a Rochester or a Carter. Flow was likely not more than 400CFM.
From the Mustang forums:The 1964 Mustang did not have many models, just the coupe and the convertible. The biggest difference was that there were four different engine options for the coupe and convertible. These included a 170 cubic inch engine with 105 horsepower with 9.1:1 compression and a carburetor with one barrel, a 260 cubic inch engine with 164 horsepower with 8.8:1 compression and a two barrel carburetor, a 289 cubic inch engine with 210 horsepower with 9.0:1 compression and a four barrel carburetor, and finally the most powerful 289 cubic inch engine with 271 horsepower, 10.5:1 compression, and a four barrel carburetor. Consumers loved the different engine options on the coupe and convertible.http://mustangforums.com/timeline/1964-ford-mustang/P.S. It's rather easy to Google this kind of information :)
The 1973 Dodge 440 cubic inch engine was rated at 375 horsepower. That was with a single, four barrel carburetor.
There are several reasons why a carburetor would do this. The most common reason is that there is a clog, which could be fixed by cleaning it. Another common cause is a problem with the accelerator pump. You can purchase a do it yourself kit to attempt to fix the problem.
Chevy 409 is a big block V8 engine. It was produced by Chevrolet from 1961 to 1965. It was a 6.7L engine, with a single or dual four barrel carburetor.
