Here is a good article.... http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...e/viewall.html
Side thought but just to make sure.... you need a gasket between the carb and intake...

Hope this helps

Sorry for the late reply. I checked and the intake manifold IS for sure a dual level, and yes, there is a gasket in between the carb and intake.

Haven't had any time at all to even worry about the carb issue, just been running the rig with the old carb on there.

I did however just pick up a used Q-Jet at a friends garage sale for $10. He said it ran 20 years ago, so should be a good NON-FRANKENSTIEN rebuild candidate.

I just ordered the Cliff Ruggles Q-Jet book. As soon as I finish getting my shop cleaned up, and a work bench cleaned off, I'll do some reading in that book and get started.

Thank you all for your input on this thread!
