Having rebuilt pretty much all of the major 4 bbl carbs... The Edelpuke/AFB (Always Friggin Backfiring) are the easiest, followed by Holley, and then the Q-jet and Thermoquad.

Gary, that's pretty much EVERY carb regardless of brand that's been run 25yrs not just Q-Jets.
I've run/rebuilt em all as well, I find Holleys easier to rebuild/tune personally but that's because they're what I use/used the most.
But I agree, I've used the EdelCrock carbs MANY times, and I'm not a fan, but oddly enough I like the actual Carter carbs lol.
