Make sure that it is a Rochester Q-Jet not a Carter Q-jet. The quality of the carb body is better in the Rochester unit, than the carter.
The Carter does not have the brass inserts for the secondaries to fit through and they tend to channel out and cause a slobbering effect, when you transition from the primary needles to the secondaries.
