I can't tell you how many folks over the years have told
me that there are two sorts of Quadrajet carbs. They are
either great or terrible; no in-between whatsoever. If
you have one that has given good service, but seems to have
been dropping off in performance a bit, find a competent
rebuilder to REBUILD your core. If it has virtually always
been a PITA, swap your core off at a rebuilder and hope that
you end up with one that is a whole bunch better!

It has also long been said about virtually all carburetors,
that the longer you can keep a mechanic away from it, the
better your life and happiness will be.

I am Gene's evil twin. I love my Qjet and wouldn't have it any other way.

Hi. I'm hoping to be in the market for a GMC in the next couple of
months and wondered what thoughts you may have about TBI. Having
owned and maintained a'67 Corvette for a few years, I know that I
am never going to be gifted in the tuning department...

Also, if I am lucky enough to be able to get a GMC it will be used
immediately for a road trip of a couple of months at a range of
altitudes and temperatures, so TBI would seem to make sense.

So, here's the question; is there a downside to getting a coach
with TBI - or having it fitted?

Thanks in advance
Richard
No GMC yet, but fingers crossed...
