1973 qjet on a 85 monte??

[Bonnewagon]

Read the books. Doug Roe's book is great, as is Cliff Ruggles'. Roe's book is a little more basic. Once you understand them, you can disassemble 10 carbs, put the parts in a pile, and build your perfect carb out of them. Q-jets are the most adaptable carb ever made and GM used zillions of them, for good reason.

if i was going to buy a carb, and couldnt find a good qjet, i would get a STREET DEMON... kinda funny looking but perform BEAUTIFULLY

The Street Demon is an improved, all new, different castings version on the Carter Thermoquad. It will also need their throttle and TV cable bracket with a 2004R. Demon eliminated a few of the Thermoquad's weak areas and added a better choke. Due to that improved choke, a drop base air cleaner will not clear. I have heard nothing but good reviews on those carbs.

they are pretty badass, and you can run a drop base air cleaner but you have to add in their spacer, they sell a whole kit, carb, linkage, and air cleaner for about $400 bucks... best part about them is they are plug n play... just hook it up, and off you go, no messing around trying to dial in a/f...
