Ordered a Q-Jet today from Hot Rod Todd, local Dallas carb rebuilder. Todd spent a lot of time helping me by getting my 66 running as well as it ever has. I still had reservations about the Eddy 650 on it, so I'm trying one more combination.
Todd is local and can assist in the install and tuning, and making sure my linkages all hook up properly. I think the q-jet will need slight mods to accept my current throttle linkage and powerglide transmission linkage (lokar cable set up).
Too much raw gas smell with the Eddy, and with my in-town cruising the q-jet seems like a good match. Maybe as another plus, my gas mileage will improve just a little.
