I understand this carb and I am buying another. Getting 12.5 MPG and I think I can improve that. 3 years and counting.
Yeah, no. I have no idea what you are getting at other than trying to suggest that an Edelbrock is a superior carb to a Q-Jet which is not the case, especially if I have to buy a spacer and a fuel pump just to get it to work.
