rochester 4bbl carb problems

[83-z]

hey i just bought an 83 z after i wrecked in my 85. the carb was junk so i got a reman from jegs and it looks and works good. it has electric choke and i was wondering why it ticks when i turn on the key ( the old one did not ) and what the blue electrical connector actually does? also where can i find a vacuum schimatic for my car? its the 305 5.0L H.O. thanks alot. :conf:

ticking when u turn the key on is normal. if your old one didnt then it was broken.

as for the blue electricall wire. your gonna need to be more specific, there are a ton of blue electircall wires on cars.

ok but i still dont know what blue connection your talking about on the carb. i dont have one right in front of me and i didnt memorize the color scheme of the wires going to it.

i think the connector in question is a fuel celeniod of some kind.... it sits on the passenger side and is up towards the front of the carb... i will try to get a pic and show u so maybe u will know it.... will that vacuum diagram for the monte work on mine or no?
here is a pic... im talkin bout the big blue connection... you will see it

hey thanks but for some reason she still wont run on her own... im thinkin its still getin some bad gas....but i dont want to drop the gas tank to clean it so i think im just gonna run it dry and figure it out....thanks for the help

I believe the connector in question is the computer controlled idle mixture control. At least that is what it was on my Q-jet.
