Pokey Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Quadrajets are the biggest pain in the ass carb ever made. Was it the factory one that came with the car and you just had it rebuilt??? Or did you get it from another car with a different motor??? If it's from a different motor, I can almost guarentee you it's too big and it's running too rich. That's why it won't idle correctly and you smell gas coming out the pipes.
