I looked at some reference material on the 'electronic' Q-jet. To use one would be an interesting exercise in getting it to work, as would an AFB or a Holley. However, other than the accomplishment, I don't see where it would help things at all. The 'get-by' emissions carbs represented the worst of both worlds. You've still got a carb which is dependent on airflow through a venturi to pull gas into the stream from an atmospheric float bowl which can get hot and vaporize. But you've still got to hassle with a controller to make it work 'properly'. The 'recirculating' carbs that I've seen merely return fuel to the tank when the float valve is closed, they don't pressure the float bowl. Consequently,other than cooler fuel in the lines, there's no benefit and Weber sees you coming when you go to buy one. I'm like the old maid at the party, I'll dance with the one what brung me. You go ahead though, and report back.
