Alright, here's the situation. I'm rebuilding my Quadrajet. Not much experience with them, but it was fairly straightforward to disassemble with the help of Doug Roe's book. So I have new well plugs, and intended on installing them. I removed the first of what I THOUGHT were the well plugs, and had the second half way out when I thought to myself, "I guess I should make sure the new well plugs are the same size as the holes." Nope, not even close. So with some research, I found that was I removed was not actually the well plug holes. Can I just plug these holes with some JB Weld or solder? Whats the best repair for this? Also, how the hell do I actually remove the well plugs? Is it better to just epoxy over them and not remove the old plugs? Thanks.
the holes you unplugged would be to supply idle bypass air. if there was a hole in them already you may want to epoxy them and drill a similar size hole. i used a rubber plug to plug these holes on an engine i didn't want bypass air.the holes you want to plug are together on a protrusion on the bottom. they may have epoxy over them already.i would put soapy water on them and shoot some high pressure air in the the secondary fuel orifices this is where the secondary rods hang in. if it bubbles replace them. i ground off the swaged material and drove them out with an 1/8" rod from the top. the main fuel passage is slightly curved but they drove out just fine. my replacement plugs were from napa and had o-ring seals
The well plugs are on the bottom of the main body. Flip it over to see them. There are four of them. Two are on the end of short stems and two more flat. Juts epoxy over them. There is a picture iin rows book of them
