Hi i am striping my rochester 4me quadrajet and have tried getting the primary jets out and the top of the jet where the slot is for a screw driver has sheered off, the jet itself still acepts the needle smoothly with no burs.
Do you think this will still work as i need it for the weekend and will not be able to get it drilled out and repaired in time

You will be able to use it as long as the center hole isn't damaged. In my opinion the rochester carburetor is much more dependable than the holleys for everyday use, but for high performance use the holleys are easier to "hop up".

Take off 'distributor to carburettor' vacuum line and plug. No vacuum leaks. Even better, attach a vacuum gauge to carb (looking for highest vacuum) 3 1/2 turns to start. Then screw in one at a time until the engine idle begins to slow, then unscrew 1/3 turn. Adjust idle speed, then repeat mixture adjustment, readjust idle speed if necessary. You'll find this to be pretty close.

give it a shot if it's that important. otherwise, use "ease-out" of the correct size and get it gone....and replaced. chances are it will work.
