RQB3263/81/305 ..... 3263 IS AN 81 and has always been somewhat squirrely..... Ive discussed this with every x-pert I can and its always the same .... the front suspension is 50's vintage stude Lark king pin ..... you can rebuild it, tighten everything up, keep it greased, but it will always float....some more than others but this problem if built into this ancient design ....to my knowledge there is no reasonable fix .... replace the rag joint, adjust, tighten, lube often and live with it....... this eliminates texting and driving ..... if you find a solution short of a frame off engine out restoration we all would like to hear about it... BILL in FL..

-
RQB3263.....MY DIST IS NOW AN AFTERMKT HEI (COIL IN CAP) IT THE SECOND OR THIRD IN THE LAST 10 YRS AND MUST BE VACUUM ADVANCE... THAT IS PROB MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE CARB PROJECT ....... BILL
-
RQB3263/81 .... ITS THE SAME CARB .... ROCHESTER Q-JET .... BUT WITH ALL THE JUNK REMOVED AND MAYBE OTHER MODS ...YES ONLY ONE WIRE TO THE CHOKE...
NATIONAL BUILT IT FOR ME A LONG TIME AGO.....YOU CAN THEN FOLLOW ALL THE EXTRA WIRES TO THERE UNITS AND EITHER REMOVE (AS I DID) THE UNIT OR CUT
OFF ALL THE EXTRA WIRES AND DISCARD..... WORKED FOR ME PROB 10 YRS AGO..... CONTACT NATIONAL THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING .....
-
RQB3263/81/305 ... AS I stated here earlier.... install a non electronic q-jet ..... however.... that may not solve all your problems as I have discovered..... my GURU tells me that there are two lead plugs in the bottom of the float bowl that eventually begin leaking... resulting in slow draining of the float bowl and extended cranking time to re fill the float bowl from the mechanical pump.....after that it operated normally.... this is how mine operated after it sets up a day or two .... there are several fixes available.... GURU SAYS NON OF THEM WORK.... either live with it or replace the carb...... I live with it .....As the non electric q-jet works just fine .... keep in touch..... BILL
