  • Trying to figure out my carb/ engine issure 500ci 8.2 V8 1975 cadillac

    Sorry if this does not make 100% sense. I have been working on the hearse all day and my brain cells are few and far between.

    Thank you again for all your help with the quadrajet.
    I took the time and rebuilt it with a kit from the auto part store and had to track down a rear vacuum break for it.
    I got it onto the engine, primed it and it took right off with no issues. The tank was dry so I put more fuel into it and primed the carb again but now it will not fire at all. I think that when I primed the carb it looked like it overfilled out of the top and when I tried to turn it over I may have fouled the plugs in the process. If I took them out and let them dry out some do you think that may resolve the issue I am having.
    I am thinking it may be that because it took right off the first time and when i tried it again...nothing, not even a hiccup.

    Thanks again for any ideas you may have.

    Got it figured out. I had to dry out the plugs and adjust the float to a lower position.
    Thanks
