Re: Carb question

Generally speaking, for an everyday driver, Q-Jet EVERY time.

Holleys have power valves that go bad often, idle circuits tend to clog easily. If you like working on your carb, get a Holley.

Q-Jets can be hard to overhaul for some. Lot of rods and stuff to keep and get in place. But....once you do have it set up right, it can run good for a long time. Parts are very available form most parts stores.
