Thank you all for your input. Has anyone attempted the fuel injection conversion? If so, are there any recommendations?thanks

    Talk to SARGE about F.I.  He's the pro. I love my Q-jet. It IS done right, but cost me some pennies, LOTS. Works well!  I'm getting about 17-18 MPG.

Q-jets are my favorite.  I tried a Holley Q-jet replacement back in 1980 when they hit the market....I cannot remember it's name?  Anyway, gas mileage was off big time and it did not have the same power under wide open throttle.

Here is a new FI company about to debut.  I think their website goes public soon.  Sounds a lot cheaper than the current FI conversion units.

Did you just go with the $995 throttle body, or did you also go with the $500 sump pump (or whatever it's called)?

Actually, I went with the ?1200 model that comes with the nitrous plate. I also got the non sump fuel pump. Looking forward to it. They would only take a deposit because of the newness. Hopefully it will ship soon. Thanks

I got the $1200 model and inline pump.
