I have not checked the filter in the Qjet yet. I purchased a reman Qjet when I put the current 283 in a couple years ago because I didn't have the time or core carb to rebuild one myself. I've had the filter inline like in the picture above since I got the truck, so I wouldn't expect anything to clog up the filter in the Qjet, but I'll check it if the weather isn't too bad tomorrow.
I'll also check the plug wires and see if the dizzy has moved, thanks.

Check the filter in the Quadrajet, Remove the inlet fitting and if the filter is paper, replace it....if its an old bronze style filter, replace it with apaper filter and spring.

That filter didn't last long I'll have to see if there was any warranty on it. I'll try to check the Qjet filter tomorrow, thanks
