External,
That is a nice looking qjet you got there. Reminds me of how mine looked getting it back from the shop that did my overhaul.

HO455,
I dont think you've hijacked the thread at all. I appreciate your contributions to the thread. And I'm glad rsgt knew exactly which diagram I was referring to and posted it. Thanks. Because I didnt have it saved anywhere.

Well then I'll make sure to adjust the floats. Thanks for the heads up. I remember when I replaced the float in my qjet but I didnt know about float level and all that goes along with it. Sure enough it wasnt performing properly. So I mustered up the courage to tackle the issue myself.I was able to correct the float level and realized how important these kinds of things really are to how a carburetor functions and performs. One thing I haven't really heard about regarding these edelbrock carbs is if the brass floats are subject to the same issues as the fuel tank sending unit floats are for our trucks. I bring this up because I just replaced the sending unit in my '72. And I had to replace the brass float twice within 2 weeks and ended up going the plastic float route after realizing that is the only way it's really going to be fixed once and for all.
I installed an Airtex fuel pump because that's what my parts guy stocks.
