What would be the best Q-jet model for my carb'd 3.8. Im looking for somehing I can tune-up. Also I want one that has a good balance of performace and econ. The 1978's didn't come with a computer so it will have to be mechincal.

Factory Q-jet carb have various cfm ratings.
800 CFM being the larger one.

Eldebrock make Q-jet replacements. They are new.

Chevy uses a different fuel inlet location than, BOP carbs.

Is this a turbo car? If so, I think those Q jets had unique shaft seals and such?
