First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... $218 seems way to cheap for Qjet on a 455. I would ask what they do in a rebuild. If it is for just putting in a kit I wouldn't do it. You need to have the fuel float bowl, air horn assemblies, throttle body surfaces checked for warpage (and repaired if warped), new bushing on the primary shaft, new pulloff. etc. Plus if you have a hotter than normal cam or other mods to the engine the carb needs to be tweaked beyond stock. "guarantee it for life" means as long as you can find them.

Has anybody here ever dealt with "Guaranteed Carburetors" in Largo Florida? They have come very highly recommended to me by a reputable local garage, but I wanted to see if anybody here has had experience with them (good or bad). They will completely rebuild my original Q-Jet for $218 and guarantee it for life. I don't have the time or the expertise to do this one myself, so I want to send it out. Any insight on this company or other rebuilders would be greatly appreciated. Also, my '67 convertible is sitting very high in the front, so I bought the Eaton coil springs from NPD for a stock 400 w/o air, which I hope will cause it to sit lower. I have a 455 w/ aluminum intake and no a/c. Anyway, when I change the springs if the car does sit a couple of inches lower, will I need to have it realigned? I am always very appreciative of the great advice and information that is so freely shared here! Many of my questions get answered before I get around to asking!
