Rochester Quadrajet Air Horn Modifications Make a Stage 1 455 Buick Air Horn!

In this episode, I finish up the Air Horn of our 1971 Buick Stage 1 455 Rochester Quadrajet. I fill air bleeds used in a Buick 350 application and modify the Primary Air Bleeds to function just like our damaged original Stage 1 Air Horn.

I was just sitting remembering the days when there was no internet information like this was hard to get

[@unclesquirrel6951]

Awesome information mr

[@dpsimpsoniii4955]

Great information. Thank you 👍

Glad it was helpful!

Back in the day (late 80's) I took mine to Brad Urban's carb shop in Anaheim, Calif. and he did all this to my engine specs. Ran the dickens outa it for many years with no issues. Hope yours goes as good for you, great mods!

I like to know more about the air bleeds and what is benefit of restricting the two inner air bleeds and why open the other to 80th? I thought the bigger the jet the smaller the air bleed in that location? Thank you for info. Whets are very cool carb. Learning as much as I can

In fact I'm bolting an 800 on my motorhome today. Quadrajets are almost less complicated on the inside than on the outside.

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

yes, the exterior linkages are difficult, especially if its missing all the linkage and you have to piece it together.

Good info on the quadrajet ---I only thing I would used blue locktite instead of the red , you will pay the devil to remove a small screw with the red . All in all a good video , keep them coming . thank you

Will you make it to the Buick Nats Bowling Green this May? Hope to see you there. A friend and me are thrashing on his Buick powered Regal hoping to get there

I need to contact you personally to ask you a question regarding the installation of the TA cam bearings if you don't mind??

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Why not contact TA Performance? I’m just some garage schlub?

[@dannycork423]

Any updates?

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

No, no updates on anything. My personal life fell apart after this video.

[@dannycork423]

@@mr.roddersneighborhood2740 Oh, that sucks. I hope things turn around soon, I love your channel.

[@bossbuick8615]

and you swapped the vent tube for the slash cut one

[@mr.roddersneighborhood2740]

Of course, the 455's had the slash cut pieces!

[@unclesquirrel6951]

Personally I blame squirrels
