Around here, the best dirt track guys are the best Q-Jet tuners...it's amazing how powerful these carbs can be. Common issues with finding suitable cores to rebuild (let's face it-they are getting hard to find) are warped baseplates and worn out throttle shafts-neither are fixable. I have a local guy who is the MAIN MAN to go to at a marina for Q-Jet rebuilds-his knowledge on them is pretty vast. I told him what kind of engine i was building once and based on that he gave me a list of possible donor cars/trucks to pull a Q-Jet from if that was what I was going to build. He has tricks for enlarging metering orifices, machining the metering rods for smaller secondary step diameters, etc., really cool stuff.
