what would i use for a fuel line to attach to a qjet?

ocbaud · 03-23-2004, 02:11 AM

i see holley and edelbrock have lots of fuel lines for thier carbs, but non for a qjet

Maybe there is a reason for that. Get the Holley.

everyone of my friends tells me i should get a holley, but inside, its telling me the qjet will be the best bet

I am so much happier with my Q-Jet than I was with my holley, if its a street engine and is daily driven and all that stuff a Q-Jet will be much better I think, especially if you get a Jet one. I replaced my holley because everytime I got off to one side or went up a hill the damn thing would dump crap-loads of gas into my engine and stall it out and it was almost impossible to get it started, plus I had to mess with and tune it up all the time when the temperature changed. If you want maximum HP I think their great, but you pay the price for that little extra power in gas bills and in frustration.

eric, wouldnt your stock fuel line connection for the stock qjet fit your new qjet?

ocbaud · 03-24-2004, 03:10 PM

i suppose it would, but the fitting that goes into the carb is stripped real bad. i could barely get it off of the carb at one time.

You can actually order it from that site. That is most likely where I am getting my EFI fuel fittings and lines from www.project33.com talks highly of them.
