I bought a proper # Q-jet and rebuilt it. Found that someone had monkeyed with it before and plugged a couple idle circuts and some other things. It's a lot better then the wroing QJ that was on my engine but it seems to bind and does not want to return to idle. It seemed fine on the bench. The idle screws don't work evenly either, turning one in will kill the engine but turning the other in does not. The choke mechanism sucks too. Anyway I"m really frustrated and wondering if I should just by an Edlebrook. My 64 T-bird has the precuser to the current Edlebrooks, a Carter, and it idles and runs very smooth. Who's swapped their QJ for an Edlebrook, esp if you had a TH400 - how is the downshift switch handled???? Does the factor Air Cleaner fit without adaptors? That's the biggest problem on my T-bird, the factory air cleaner hits stuff and I have to use a spacer to lift the air cleaner up and it almost hits the hood. I really want to keep the factory air cleaner.
