If you'd like I can call edelbrock tomorrow and ask what the power tip size is on the rods in that kit.

Sorry to interupt fellas,and maybe I'm lost here,but what then is a good starting point for me. As far as rods and jets are concerned???
By the way,I pulled the pri. rods out of the edelbrock 1407 they are numbered 1747 and they look nothing like the pri. rods in the Q-Jet. Q-Jet rods are much shorter. Also I am now confused as to where I will be able to get the correct rods and jets for the Q-Jet. I must have picked up on some conflicting info.

To get you close to jetting your q-jet right you'll need like 48k rods and 75 jets. I'm using 47k/75 on mine with a mild cam, headers, and sidepipes.

Correct. However, I'm still skeptical as to whether or not it comes with M rods or K/P rods. If they are M rods, you can at least modify them to the k spec, though.

Edit: talking to edelbrock right now. The tech is even wondering why the rods available are only .036 tips. He's checking for me right now.
Edit2: Just finished talking to Edelbrock. They ONLY make rods with the .036 tips for the M4M and that race tuning kit comes with the same rods that you can buy individually. Sorry bigblockk, I called it right. The rods for the 4MV are all "B" series rods with the good .026 tip.
