Thread: New carb or get Q-Jet rebuilt?

Tweet

Just out of curiousity, why are you committed to the Q Jet? Not that they are a bad carb, but there are so many other more popular choices. Also, as you have seen, they tend to be pricey by comparison.

Just curious.

i know and like the Q-jet, but i don't think its a good carb to learn on. i don't like the holly as much, but i think its the best carb. for beginners, out of the box thing did a good job. . it was probably 3 times as many Q-jets on the st. from 1970 to 1990 as any other carb. went to school and worked on them at the dealer, not a big problem. they might be getting a little out dated now, but for gas mileage and power you cant beat it. jmo

I have purchased Q Jets from Sean Murphy in the past when he was still at Jet. His new web site is http://www.smicarburetor.com/

My experience with his work was fantastic. He asked the details of the engine, trans, car weight and gearing and built a carb that needed zero
to get dialed in....it worked perfectly straight out of the box....of course, I tried a couple of adjustments but always returned to Sean's original settings.

I highly recommend his work.
