The only "positive" I got out of ice fishing in my year in northern Minnesota was there were no mosquitos or "no see ums".

Since we are recommending Q-Jets in this thread, I think we should also mention the Carter TQ, especially in a thread about heat issues. The TQ is short for thermoquad, or a 4 barrel with a thermoplastic body. My opinion on street 4-barrels: the Q-Jet is number 2, but the TQ is number 1.

To be fair, both the Q-Jet and the TQ have a fair number of detractors. Have heard "quadrajunk" and "quadrabog" hundreds of times, and a number of folks complain their TQ split its bowl (believe me, the bowl had help to split wink )

But in the "for what its worth" category, with 150,000 carbs to choose from, I have a TQ on my 350.

So far, the moderators have been kind with their tolerance of the Q-Jet (never used on a stovebolt), as well as other brands in this thread. I will not try their patience by saying more, however if one of the moderators would like an article extolling the virtues of the TQ, they only have to message.
