I have Q-jet by Carter number 7042272 on shelf that needs complete rebuild, but
Iīm not sure if itīs worth of effort and expenses.
Itīs originally from 455 ī72 GTO with automatic transmission. It was taken out from running engine due to leak from gasoline inlet.
Hey Cliff, what is your opinion. Is this carb worth of for a complete/correct rebuilding and custom tuning for hi-perf use in my combo? How much you estimate itīll cost made in your place?
Hi Paul, (Carter) could you ask from Jeff what is his suggestion for carb and how much is his estimation for costs for custom tuning?
This is street / road car so the main point is not in best possible hp but good combination of hp/mpg. I want to keep the original intake, and carb should have vacuum secondaries and electric choke.
My combo is here:

Hmmm.... The guy is running a Holley, why not put another Holley on it. The guy is also from another country. So buying a good carb similar to what he is already running that is ready to rock n roll would be the smart thing to do. A good carb is going to cost $450.00 - $700.00, then he will have to play with jetting etc. perhaps resulting in more needed parts he may have to wait a month or longer for. Talking to Pro-Systems only costs a phone call and it could get him a carb built to his engine's specs (no more), he will be able to bolt it on and go. Nothing else needed and 100% tech service a phone call away 24/7/365. It is the simplest solution for him to do in his position and that he is already running one. Yes, they built the "world's fastest carb" but that does not mean every carb they build is for racing. I am surprised that a guy that has a whole thread about Holley carbs, bashes one. Really surprised.
