I made a very good living rebuilding those things for about 8 years.
I'll take every one I can get and smile all the way to the bank!

Hey, I never said that a Q-Jet couldn't be built hella stout. I've seen several that were really fine carbs. For the average Joe, however, I'm a big fan of the Edelbrock simply because they're simple, they perform well, and anybody with a modest tool kit (including a set of Torx) and an afternoon to kill can rebuild one with great success.
