85 GMC Carb Project...
My Sunday morning project was to remove the QJ from our 85 GMC truck and send it to Dr. Eric for an overhaul. [long overdue]
Everything went smooth until I removed the kick-down cable connection...the plastic/rubber grommet fell apart. So while this won't impact the rebuild I will need to replace that little gizmo for the re-install. Any ideas on where I can get one of these little parts...and can it be changed on the existing cable?? -wilma

If its a 700R4 I think you may need a new TV cable -- haven't seen any replacement clips ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Most of the franchise parts stores stock these in the Dorman - HELP section. I stocked these 20 years ago and the original clips are getting more brittle every day.

Re: 85 GMC Carb Project...
Update 10/2/16...carb arrived from Eric...installed today. As you would expect it functioned perfectly right out of the box! A couple of pumps and she fired right up...runs good.
I found one of those kick-down gizmos...so, that part was replaced...kick-down working fine. Now for an oil change and a fresh set of plugs and we will be ready for opening weekend at camp. I did notice a little noise underneath....looks like it's time for some exhaust work [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Thanks Eric for a great job and all your help [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] -wilma

Re: 85 GMC Carb Project...
Well, as the cold weather moved in, I noticed the truck was harder to start. A call to the doctor solved the problem...an adjustment to the choke pull-off and an increase in the fast idle speed did the trick. She is now safely stored for the winter...no sleeping bag Sammy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Thanks Eric... -wilma
