I just set the 4barrel on our G30 van. Hell of a carb when they're adjusted properly.
I use a 1/16" twist drill, like in days a fore, to set the Choke Plate~remember.
Remember the excelerator pump in the carb had ether leather or rubber/plastic umbrella that pumped fuel down the throat. If the umbrella was worn it would be hard starting, until replaced.
The Beast, this 82 1ton Van was hard starting, slow warming. I didn't look forward to tearing down the Quadrajet e4barrel, it still had exceleration that would throw you back in the seat, poor exceleration was another symptom of wear, but was absent.
It had been a rescue van, The sheriff use to hall the boat to Lake Camanche, their mechanics were monkeys so everything that could be out of adjustment, was.
I cleaned and adjusted the carb, this morning when cold, and it started like a champ. Test drive showed the throttle/choke plate opened and when it came off fast idle onto the set screw, it idled like a Sherman.
