No offence but doesn't sound like you have any experience with carbs. Cliff will rebuild yours. Check on his web page under 'services'.
If you want to tackle it yourself we can certainly provide you with a ton of links that show you how.
As always, take some pics of your carb for us.

Cliff currently has over a year waiting list...

Cliff's kits are the best out there. An Autozone is decent, but to trult tweak a Q jet, Cliff's kit is tops.

But my belief is they have so many 'extra', adjustable functions that they can be (better?) finely tailored to each individual engine's needs. Kinda like the simpler carbs may merely perform close enough to what engines need that they approach a one-size-fits-all, albeit not optimally--all this IMO, and open to disagreement.

Agreed! A properly set-up Q-jet is superior to any Holley, Carter, or other 4 barrel carb in terms of being good for economy AND power production. That is not my opinion - it has been proven time after time. If you want to go fast at the track or just want to throw a carb out of the box on an engine and go, the Holley is your carb. If you want a carb that gets good mileage, and makes excellent power, and supplies the engine with the proper cfm it needs at all throttle positions, the Q-jet is where its at.
