The only problem I have had with Quadrajets is that they usually need a rebuild with new throttle plate bushings. If you search around you might find someone on the website that would trade you a Qjet for your old carb. I know 2Blue442 has alot of parts.
Yep, it was a q jet that was shot. I wouldn't mind trading a q jet for it. What do you think of a stage II jet performance q jet? Think it would do the job? I've tried to rebuild them before and that ended up in total disaster.
