I just received an email asking why I hadn't jumped on this thread.
The answer is very simple: I read the first post, and since I do ONLY 1974 and earlier carburetors, did not again look at the thread. I have NO first hand knowledge of O.E. carburetors newer than 1974, and try to avoid posting if I am not sure of my post.
However, any of the non-computer-controlled Q-Jets may be MODIFIED to work on various applications, and work well. The key here is knowing what mods to make, or knowing someone to make them for you.
A new book just appeared last week on this subject. The book is entitled "How to Rebuild and Modify Rochester Quadrajet Carburetors" by Cliff Ruggles, published by SA Design Books. Cliff has the books available, and may be reached at (740) 397-2921.
The book should answer all questions concerning modification of the Q-Jet. I have a copy, and can recommend it to anyone interested in Q-Jets from a novice to a professional.
Jon.
