A Q-jet will provide the best combination of fuel economy, power and driveability. The triple venturi cluster design on the primary side gives sophisticated fuel delivery that rivals fuel injection when working right. Everything will fit and look right on your Pontiac with this set-up. The Edelbrock knock-offs will run of course, but will require a bunch of "rigging" and "hacking" to make it fit and operate correctly. Fuel mileage will never come close to a Q-jet. They are shiny though, won't dispute that. BTW, tuning parts for the Ederlbrock carbs are VERY expensive and hard to get. Just went through tuning a pair of AFB's and had well over $200.00 in jets and metering rods by the time I had a decent tune on them.
