In my opinion, there is no better carburetor to meter fuel for an internal combustion engine than the Rochester Quadrajet.
AGREED! For a street car that you want performance as well there is no better carburator if its set up properly. If anyone disagrees then I would ask how many Carter/Edelbrock carbs and hlleys were used on street cars out fo the factory? Yes they were used but not nearly as much as QJ's. Small primaries for instant throttle response and efficient...cant beat it IMO. Only thing other I would suggest is that another option for a QJ rebuilt to perfection is SMI (Sean Murphy Induction). SMI has carbs out of stock appearing drags cars in the low 10 second range and drive all day on the street. If your car is set up for a QJ right now dont mess with a good thing...send it off to a pro and be done with it.
