Minion1186, If I recall you said you would be at Fall Carlisle sap meet. I purchased a number q-jets there last spring for as low as $1. There we're plenty to be found in the $5 - $15 price range that we,re good cores with electric choke.

Welcome

Thanks for the input, the asking price is more than I'm willing to go after with the amount of work involved. If I get over that way soon I will post some pics and description of the vehicle on the site here. Maybe someone else may be interested?

You can install an aftermarket lock up kit for your torque converter. They range from $15-$200. I would recommend one that runs through the brake switch, engine vacuum switch and lastly through the hydraulic switch in the transmission. You don't have to have the lock up to make the transmission function...

Welcome, You will have to swap out the computer controlled distributor for an older vacuum advance unit also. It would be wise to install an adjustable vacuum advance canister on it and limit the vacuum advance to 10 -12 degrees.(The stock vacuum advance is set up to run with an EGR system and...

Welcome.

$200-$400 really limits what you can do. You will have to decide whether you are going to keep your car emmision compliant or not, and any real performance gains will come at the expense of eliminating your computer controlled carb and distributor. Most of the guys on this site are not real...

If memory serves me correct, the 3A heads have 1/2" bolt holes and the 4 and 6 heads have 7/16" bolt holes. Also the chamber sizes are much different. I'm unsure of the bolt holes on the 7A heads but I believe they are 7/16" also.
