Just got my q jet back from Lars. what a difference!
I would definitly consider a rebuild by Lars as an alternative to buying a new carb. I just installed mine and I can only say it never ran this well. Good response, steady idle, starts up right away after sitting all night, rich smelling exhaust eliminated. Thanks Lars. great job.

:iagree: I can't say enough about the performance difference in my car before & after being "Larsed."

Lars is amazing. The man. And he has a talent that's fast disappearing.

I have heard from many people that a Q-Jet that is setup right really is a great all around carb. I have a guy who has a lot of Q-Jet carbs and he said they can put one together for me. Sounds like I should just buy it and send it to Lars and have him work his magic. I would love to have my Holley work great in both town driving and wide open, is that expecting too much?

$100
Especially considering how good of work he does.
Hell I'd have offered him at least twice that... maybe more.

Re: Just got my q jet back from Lars. what a difference! (Stoge)
:iagree: It is a heck of a deal. Here's what Lars said about tuning carbs for forum members:
"Cost for the carbs is $100 plus return shipping, and this includes a complete teardown, hot tank, detail, precision blueprint assembly, a good quality carb kit, a new NitroFill float, a new filter, and test-running the carb on one of my engines to assure performance. I do not have capability to do the replating process like some of the commercial rebuilders, but then I don't charge $300, either... and my carbs run good. If the carb needs other parts, such as a choke pulloff, linkage pieces, choke assembly, etc., I charge my cost on these items in addition to the base fee. The carbs are supplied to you with a data sheet and installation instructions."
BTW, I don't get kickbacks or anything, I'm just very, very pleased with my carb right now! :thumbs:
Oh, and Stoge, be real careful taking that carb off! If you drop it, we won't let you touch carbs anymore, either.:lolg:
