The national auto parts stores all sell a re manufactured q-jet that is application specific. They vary in price, so shop around. You will be pleased with it right out of the box.

Any q-jet that is set up to the correct specs (for the carb, not the motor) will perform reasonably well on most any application. In other words, if you have a 72 model q-jet on a 69 model 350, you want to set the carb to 72 specs. The specs between q-jet numbers can vary A LOT!

What is your carb doing that you feel you need to replace it?
