Mace, The Q-jet is hard to beat for both just driving and performance. I went from a Holley to the Q-jet and was amazed that an un-tuned Q-jet was better than my Holley! I also have heard of a lot of issues with the BG carbs, they are really nice looking but seem to have issues. I remember when I was looking to replace my carb, I wanted to go with one purely based upon how nice they look... A bit of a search on the internet and I was talked out of it. People were complaining of a bunch of different things. The exact things I forget, I'll find some of the threads that I saved. Needless to say I am very happy with my Q-jet! So no more EFI? Are you selling your Accel setup? Check out the Tomahawk intake if you want to put the EFI stuff on the Pontiac. ;) Just my $0.02 Paul Z. 68 350 Coupe On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 6:55 PM, Mace <[email protected]> wrote: > First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List > ........................................................................ . > Hey Guys, > > > > I am removing the Accel Gen 7 DFI system from my car while we are > installing the 468 stroker engine.
