Quadrajet removal questions

[benoit454]

Ok first off I'd switch to an edelbrock anyday, anytime I've changed it's been better with an eddy then a quadrajunk on it. I put one on a stock 86 305 truck, with factory intake, had to use a spacer to do this a spread bore to square bore adapter plate.

Did the same on the 84 c10's 305. We removed all the smog junk and a/c on the 86 and all the smog junk on the 84, it had no a/c stock. I'd do it in a heartbeat as long as you don't have to pass emissions test.

As for dist. never seen one without a vac. adv. unit. The 86 had the 4 pin plugin and computer for it and so did the 84 but both had vac. adv. units.

I don't think you need it if it runs fine now, it's just to help give it more advance, if it runs good and plenty of power wouldn't worry too much.

On the other hand if you are eliminating all the other stuff might as well fine another vac. adv. dist hei style or bypass the 4 wire plugin, there's 2 wires that you cut and splice together and it'll bypass the computer. That will make it act like a reg. dist. but still won't have vac. adv. Both ports could be plugged fine, ones is ported/timed the other is full vac. all the time.

It will work with the 700r4 tv cable but you may want to look into the new geometery correction kit they have for it to make sure it's perfectly setup to work as it should or as best as it can with the ddy to ensure you have a good 700 for as long as you want to use it. if not then it may be sluggish, or erractic on shifting. Ours sure was on the 86, it was either slow and slipped going from 1 into 2, or it was hard and took alot of rpms and forever to come out of first and when it did it hit hard. If it doesn't have the throttle stud be prepared to order the right one from edelbrock or summit, or make one work with a small bolt and nuts, same for the kickdown stud.
