JCCC,

I also have a '71 Cutlass. Mine is a convertible with a 350, 4 BBL.

The following is my experience. Not the law...just my experience. When I bought my Cutlass, it had an Ebrock 1406 electric choke carb and Performer RPM intake and cam. I never could get that POS carburetor to run right. Because it is a squarebore, there's no real low to mid level metering. It starts dumping gas from the get-go. Rejetted several times, new float, metering rods...the low rpm performance just sucked. I went back to a QJet and haven't regretted it once.

Forget Year One. They are overpriced and geared toward concours restoration. My man is named Danny Sarvis and he's in San Antonio, Texas. He specializes in Olds and is great on QJets. He does mail order rebuilds all the time. Contact him at wblue70@aol.com .
