So the exhaust manifold job went great today, thank you for all your help on here. I couldn't of done it with out the tips and tricks
Now, This motor, fresh rebuild. Was fuel injection, when it was rebuilt the owner wanted it to go back to carb. I have a fresh Rochester Quadjet carb. It was professionally rebuilt. I just need to mount it on the new intake.
1/place fel pro gasket down
2/place carb on. Tighten nuts down (torque specs)?
3/hook up fuel like 3/8s.
DID I MISS ANYTHING?
Here is where it gets a bit more complicated. The past owner put on electric fuel pump for the fuel injection. I would like to convert it back to manual and insert the rod I think. Is there any opinion on which is better?
Also, priming the engine. It was primed last fall and nothing since. I was going to reprime it with the priming tool before start up.
Any input of any sort or something I've missed please let me know. I am ok with motors and really enjoy working on them, this is just a project that is a bit bigger than wires and plugs on a 350 lol.
Here is a pic of what we are working with
