Default q-jet

Cliff prepared a carb for my application and I have been very happy with it.
It took under 8 months and was worth the wait.

Picked up a 20 buck q-jet from a swap meet and rebuilt myself so I was not without
car during the wait. Actually thought I had it pretty close since i tweaked with it
the entire time I was waiting for mine to be done. The Q-jet from has outperformed
the one I setup in every way. Elec choke has been flawless, great plug color and
improved mileage(around14-15) and great response and driveability.
It feels like a fuel injected car now.

I bought a restored carb from Glennz (ramair on ebay) nice guy and his work is good. I talked to him on the phone when I was a QJ newbie to work out a few bugs, he sent me a plastic pull-off and rod to convert to. I then sent it to Cliff for a tiny bit of tweaking and it works great. It looks nice and runs great !

I bought a carb from Glenn about 10 years ago. I'm running it on one of my cars & it still works great.

I have had one of his carbs for a couple of years. The quality of the rebuild/plating was good. I had to jet mine/modify the idle tubes since my application does not utilize a stock cam.

Cliff and Jim are both top notch. I have used them both over the years.
