Most people will disagree, but I run a Q-jet on my 71 Cutlass. I sent it out to a really good carb rebuilder. It came back in fantastic shape. Only adjustment I had to make was the high idle. Deano asked me questions about my engine set up and built the carb to my specific engine. I have not touched it in over six years.
On the street a Q-jet is my carb preference. Economy if you keep you foot out of it and performance when needed when those big secondaries crack open.
Think about this....GM spent $$$ in research and development on the Q-jet. It was designed to be the best carb choice for a GM engine. Holleys are good, but I give the nod to "Q".

I've heard several others say the same thing. Problem is I don't have a manifold for a q jet and I'm really not interested in changing out my brand new manifold. I was told the q jet can't fit on my manifold.
