Ok all I just purchased a ReBuild/Reman Q-Jet for my ride (not here yet).
Well here is the thing (it needs it but) The carb problems I was having Dissappeared, YES DISSAPPEARED (if its spelled right) when I fixed my AIR PUMP. IF you are going to be on the road and doing day to day driving, and your car originally had the AIR system, It needs it to not run RICH. Just to let you know the the Problems all began when I busted a pulley for the AIR PUMP. I did find a replacement and put it on and it 3/4 solved my problems. My carb still leaks (thus the replacement coming). I just thought that I would fire up the old debate about AIR Pumps.
