I got tired of blowing power valves out in the Holleys, rebuilt a good ol quadrajet and never looked back.

I had a few Q-jets that worked, somewhat, too. I then used them to practice my mad shot-put skills and went fuel injection.

I had a 82 camaro with a 305 and a electronic Q jet. 

Car is long gone but I still have the carb if anyone is interested.  Have the distributer that goes with the carb as well..…

Paul, if you box it up and put $20 in there, I'll take it.

Hard to believe but there was a guy who actually wanted it at one time.   And was going to pay for it.   Only problem was he had no money.

My last one was an 85 Chev. Started life with a 305, 700-r4, 3.08 gears and 235/75r15 tires. Couldnt spin the tires on ice.
Ended with a fuel injected 406, 4.11 gears and 33" super swampers. I bent the rear axle tubes when I was doing some landscaping after building my house. Had some decorative rock dumped in the box. Suspension didnt move. Said, put in some more. Twice. Went over the scale with 3200lbs in the box. 6 months later, when the Eaton carrier in the rear exploded, I figured out the axle tubes had bent..
