I Think I Got It!

rebuilt my q-jet cc and after much trouble finally got it running. yesterday adjusted the secondaries and the m/c soleinoid to 1/8 inch travel went ahead and cut 2 coils off my accel pump spring. now i don't have to sit at stop lights with one foot on the brake and one on the gas. also found a vacumm leak. ready to rebuild another cc qjet. this was my first cc carb to rebuild

You adjusted the MCS? I didn't know it could be adjusted. How do you do that?

Good references for CC Q-Jets are:

1) Helm's Shop manual for your year f-body
2) Haynes Rochester manual (available at most autoparts stores)
3) Doug Roe's book on Rochester carbs

All of them detail the procedures. The Hanyes is the cheapest and easiest to get a hold of usually. But Google it and maybe you'll get the procedure for free, or search this board.
