My car dies when i turn or go up hill or down hill. i have changed out he ignition module, roter, dist cap + coil, and plugs and wires. my fuel pump is working fine. does anyone have any ideas of why my car would just die?

I have a full tank of gas. i checked the fuel pump and its working fine. i have a Rochester Quadrajet Carb. i was able to get it started and warmed up. I drove it around the block a few times and then it just died again. it seems that it dies when the car is warmed up. any ideas? how can i check the float level or adjust it?

Also check for the fuel filter on the carb. It's usually a sintered bronze type, and it's located in the body when you remove the fuel inlet fitting. If you now have an in-line filter, you can leave that carb filter out. Don't horse that fitting back on either, it's easy to strip the fine threads on the carb.

Very few people know how to rebuild a qjet. There are a ton of problems with the design. With that being said, carbs don't make any noise. Good or bad. The popping could be back fire or a sticking intake valve. Back fire is probably timing (not sure) and the valve is self explanatory. Its hard to give tuning advice.
