Great deal...especially for the new carb. Spend some TIME and do a good rebuild on the older Q-Jet and make sure that the upper plate has not warped too much. They all do, and that is fine unless they warp too much, usally from over tightening of the assembly bolts. They are not difficult to rebuild, just takes a little time.

You've got a new project! Have fun with that
