Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.

I second that on the Q-Jet carb. You just gotta love those huge secondaries!

Get one rebuilt from a reputable rebuilder and enjoy your Corvette!

I agree! I had my Quadrajet rebuilt and put on a flow bench 3 years ago and it still is working flawlessly! I've had Holleys on other Chevys, and you always have to fiddle with them!
