Ive found more good stuff..

this is a fairly easy and inexpensive repair for worn throttle shaft bores with teflon bushings: http://rmcavoy.freeshell.org/Q_Jet_bushings.html

FWIW it does look like there is room in the throttle casting for small sealed ball bearings as those found on some weber carbs.

a link to the latest Q-jet manuals for all the spreadbore carbs. includes the two electronic ones: http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Carbs/Rochester/QJet/index.htm

and the best Ive found so far: http://truckroadservice.com/barth_attachments/7993991167_86_P30_service_part3.pdf this has both the E.Q-jet specs, All the ESC timing advance specs including the HEI module specs.


a rebuild including shaft bushings: https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ccrp-0908-qjet-carburetor-rebuild/

adjustment instructions: http://www.carburetor-blog.com/files/rochester_quadrajet_adjustments.pdf

BoboBob13, here is the wiring diagram for the E4MED:
http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/techinfo/qjet/temp.gif

its a direct circuit with no ECU control like I thought it would have to be.

Edit to add: so the E4MED like the one you have (I think?) with its dual capacity pump is made to eliminate the cold stumble on the transition from idle to partial throttle. this would be very good to have with blocked crossover intakes IMO and it is an electric choke carb too.

there is also the M4MEF which is unique in that it is the only one that has air/fuel mixture screws on the secondaries.

check to see if your has the secondary mixture screws, IIRC this was only available on the 454/7.4l
