The Q-Jet on my truck is a holly remanufactured unit. It sounds like yours is long worn out. However if you have done modifications to the motor, it's usually cheaper in the end to go with Edelbrock or Holley.
I totally agree, possibly consider a Stage1 version from Jet performance, can get them through Summit. Also try Val Hedworth in Macon Missouri, hes a long time Q-jet wizard & NHRA Stock Eliminator champion. He knows q-jets very well.
