Lars...
Winter project is cam and intake, timing gear and water pump. I have a 76 350 L-48. Rochester qjet. Could you e-mail youir service info also?
By the way... everyone is suggesting a carb upgrade with the cam and intake, I would like to keep the qjet. What are your feelings on this?

wes -
E-mail on its way with some info for you.
The stock Q-Jet on your 350 will flow up to 750cfm. This is more than your 350 can ever use on the street, especially up at your altitude. If I were you, I'd just play with your jetting a little and get it right for your setup - you should be able to get some great throttle response and outstanding WOT power from a near-stock Q-Jet, while maintaining reliability and drivability. I'm sending you a Q-Jet tuning paper as well, so you'll have an idea of how to work with it.
