Been more than a couple of years since I did a Qjet myself....I had my resident carb expert (my dad) go though the one on my K5. Call me a chicken, but I don't have the patience to do it. I've done them, but Dad's retired and needed something to do for a couple of days.....He's a pro on carbs. From old WCFB's (2x4) on his 57 to webber's on an old Porsche he can do them all. He's working on some old sidedraft carbs from a 54 vette for a guy right now. In my case, let the pro do the work...

All I know is he's got my q-jet dialed in on the money. Starts quick, idles smooth heck even the choke works on its own like it should. (I always mess that up on mine)
