I've heard if quadrajets being retrofitted , but it's not really something I wanted to get into on a customers car.

I pulled off the electrical connectors and found little to no corrosion, contact cleaned and brushed everything out anyways. Also worked the idle adjustment screws, neither helped. Pulled the plugs and cleaned them, which have me enough time to limp the car up to the auto plaza my gf works in, where one if the old guys said he was familiar with these cars and the Solex.

Two days later I get a phone call, the vacuumn diaphragm for the secondaries isn't working that great, and the secondaries are sticking open, causing fuel to just pour in. Metering valves are also sticking. Bottom line is it's looking like the carbs going to have to be rebuilt.
