Where to get the best Q-jet rebuild kit?

I've been looking at the SR kit from Cliff's High Performance. Looks like the most complete. Anyone have any other suggestions?


It's just going to be a stock rebuild going on a stock 350.

I'm sure that will be fine. I rebuilt mine last Fall with Cliff's book and a NAPA kit. Runs great and actually got better mpg...think I paid $25 or something like that at NAPA.

Just checked with Napa and after 15minutes of them trying to find it, it was $39.99 and did not include a new float.

You always have to buy the float separate. The nice thing about those is, its virtually a one-size fits all (split out by year ranges), so its not a hopeless cause if they can't find a specific carb application.

Yeah, I know I can get it seperate. I only mentioned it because the kit from Cliff's includes the float and was cheaper.
