    For those running Q-jet carbs, what jets/metering rods are you running? Also, what is your approximate altitude? Thanks, Kevin

    Hey, Kevin. This is not an answer to your question (info on my Qjet is at the house), but I had a thought to pass on. Has anyone told you about John Osborne (270) 737-4467? Among other things, he rebuilds Qjets to match up with your total package. I' m told he does a superb job and lots of Buick folks swear by him. I have not yet used his service, as I had purchased a new Elelbrock 850 before finding out about him. He is very reasonable in his charges and might well be worth a call before you tear into yours. A lot of the time, there is much more needed in a rebuild than just jets, hangers and rods. My 2 cents. Good luck!:3gears:

    76/49 at 3500' Larger area at WOT, smallermetering variance at part throttle makes a nice high altitude combo. Slightly rich, but it saves the engine.
