Since you have run your Qjet for 44 years, you might like to try something different. Just don't sell that original carb in case you want to go back to it. I had an Eddy carb on one of my trucks and stock Qjet on the other and I couldn't really decide which one I liked better. The Qjet is smoother and has a better choke and starts easier. The Eddy choke can be adjusted to work well enough once you get used to it. It doesn't have a choke pull off so you can't just start it and walk away like the Qjet. I do like the feel of the bigger primaries on a square bore carb. You won't be out much money to give it a try.
