everything has a learning curve. If you know holleys, you are inherently capable of knowing about q-jets too. you have to learn though. I say buy a couple junk q-jets and tear into them and rebuild one and see if you can get it running. they're great carbs. Dont listen to the people that call them quadrajunk, they're ignorant.

quadrajets were original equipment on zillions of different vehicles for many years. they're all about driveability and economy. Dont let those words fool you though- they also perform GREAT. The combination of throttle response, economy, tuneability, availability of parts, etc etc makes these carbs my #1 pick for ANYTHING that you plan on driving more than just on the weekend. They really are awesome. The old school holley and AFB style carbs are good too. Theyre tried and true but for the particular application of a TRUCK, the quadrajet is the way to go. If you wanna take the easy way out, throw a holley on there. yeah it'll work and if its setup right, it'll work great. Dont underestimate the quadrajet though. good luck
