That's good to hear, I have a Rochester rebuild manual. If you were going the other route I could have gotten you the OEM rod and jet numbers. What I do know is, the plugs on the bottom, by the primary blades, corrode and leak fuel directly into the intake. Usually all quality aftermarket remanufacturers epoxy them to fix that problem...

Epoxy is only a short term fix. Eventually it degrades and starts leaking again. I think the only permanent fix is to drill and tap the plugs and install threaded plugs with a good gas-resistant sealant.

You could also accomplish this without ordering the kit by simply making your own plugs from a 7/16 bolt - cut the head off and use a grinder to make a slot to screw it in. Then drill out the old plug, tap it, and screw in your homemade plug with some marinetex epoxy on the threads.

Cliff Ruggles' site also sells a variety of Q-jet parts like jets, rods and hangers.

I want to go!

Good information. Thank you. Call me crazy, but im probably one of few that appreciates a q-jet. It's like a Rube Goldberg device.
