    Where have you been, Cliff? I remember talking to you a while back about having you construct a Q-Jet for me. This is just a coreball quick note to check in and see where things stand.

    Good afternoon Cliff,
    I ordered a carb kit from you last week through the website. I was wondering if you received the order? And has it shipped?

    Hi Cliff,
    I am having a loss of power on hard acceleration with my completely stock 1969 Firebird 400 four speed. Has the original quadrajet carb #7029263 VD 2039. At one point the power valve was changed out along with jets as one side of the original power valve got bent. Would like you to go through it just to the stock specifications as I hear great things about you work and attention to detail. Can you email me at Chainechat@Yahoo.com
    Thanks, cw

    Hey Cliff, I saw online some people mention your (20) rules to run compression as high as possible. I wonder if you could post a link so that I and others could see it?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Hello Cliff, I need my '68 Rochester repaired. Its leaking around the gas inlet - I was referred to you from this forum. If you do this repair, what would be the cost, also, its a running carb but a freshen up rebuild wouldn't hurt- how much for that also. Thanks, Tom. My email is old65goat@aol or my cell is 845-527-7121 - thanks

    Dear Cliff,
    You were recomended to me by Pitts64 from the H.A.M.B. Forum. I own a 61 Pontiac Bonneville 389 Tripower Bubble Top with a 4spd Hydramatic. I will be removing the engine and Trans in October and would like to update the 389 to 425A specs and have the Hydramatic rebuilt to handle the additional power. I would greatly appreciate your assistance regarding this project.
    Sincerely gmil60

    Morning Cliff,
    I'm in the middle of reading your book which is really breaking the carb down for me, but I was wondering what I should be considering when choosing a carb for me. It may be in your book and not come to it yet. I have a 68 350 .30 over with stock 17 heads and mild cam. Budget is a huge concern and looking for something affordable or something I could learn to rebuild. Ebay has their selection but of course "buyer beware" and I am not quite sure what to look for.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    -Dion
