I bought several of those a few years ago on Ebay nOS. Still have a few.

I’ve used a faucet washer to seal the gap.

I didn't even know the QJet had those decals on it. Lol pretty neat.

On an unrelated question that I really don't think it's necessary to start a new topic for...

The hot air choke tube that has the flare fitting nut that mates to carb. You know how that tube slips into the hole on the choke stove that also has the vacuum line tube coming out of it that you hook to the air cleaner?

My question is, the tube that goes to the carb. Is that tube supposed to freely slide in and out of the hole for it on the stove with ease, or is it supposed to be snugly press fit in? I ask because I got a really excellent condition used choke tube set for late 70's 400's but the carb side tube with the brass nut just slips in and out of the opening for it on the stove. It's such a loose fit that I'm not sure it's supposed to be that way or not. If not I can just goop some JB Weld ExtremeHeat putty and seal it but I wanna make sure. I know that once it's fastened to the carb, it's not going anywhere; but with that super loose fit in the stove opening, I'd be afraid of the hot air choke vacuum leak sucking in filthy air from that hole due to the loose fit.
