I had never personally seen or worked on a QJet on any '80s Corvettes, so that was a new one on me. However, I love the early '80s(before '85) non electronic QJets that came on C10s. One of the better platforms with electric chokes and typically work well on a broad range of engines without fighting jetting issues(tuner friendly).

That is a great way to go! I thought he retired and was not still doing them. Buy it today and be done with it.

I've still got to find a core, he wanted a specific set of identifying numbers. I've got it written down in the kitchen 4M??M4?? Something along those lines.
