which carb to buy

[-83MONTESS-]

Parts stores etc Re-man Q-jets are awful. And in many cases if you have a decent rebuild-able core having a small shop pro that specializes in Q-jets do it specific for your application doesn't even cost a lot more. But the quality difference is undeniable.

x2! I had my qjet rebuilt by my dad's good friend who is a BOP man. He had it for 3 days and when I got it back I literally bolted it on and it fired right up with 2 pumps. I only had to lower the idle alittle bit. After having issues with 2 different Holleys and an Edelbrock I decided to just use the qjet to drive it. Now im sold on them.

Quadrajet for sure. They are by far the most reliable and not to mention the loudest when you kick em down.

With my engine, a stock 350sbo, #6 heads..it runs great with the 500cfm 2bbl rochester. Excellent throttle response and cranks with just a touch of the pedal and a bump of the starter. Unless I go with a lot more performance upgrades, or plan to drive across the country, I wont be removing it to add a 4bbl intake and carb. Just seems to me to be a waste of expensive gas....jmo of course..

Technically, a Qjet gets better milage and throttle responce than most 2 barrel carbs because the primaries on the Qjet are smaller. Truthfully a 2 barrel has nothing to offer over a Qjet in any way except the fact you may not actually currently own a Qjet.

I've heard good things about the JET Quadrajets. They are supposed to be built per application. Anyone have any personal experience?
