I had Cliff Ruggles rebuild the Qjet on my 79. Runs like a top. See no reason not to use the Qjet. Traveled to his house on a Saturday. Learned alot to.

I have the stock Quadrajet setup on my 1974, L82 and it works without problems. In fact I have never found a carburetor in good working order to be a problem. It's when people that don't know what they are doing, neglect or mess with them that causes a issue.
