too bad they stopped making them like this.
gas crunch hit 1973, drag racing and demand fell off a bit.
they were discontinued.
Carter actually did make a better Qjet IMHO, improved linkage, albeit more complex.
but it was expensive, and now somewhat scarce, and pricey.
I look at these, and realize they had to pay some sort of licensing fee to Rochester,
to make a carb so similar looking on top and bottom...
Qjet was the cutting edge of carb technology back then,
Carter figured, why reinvent the wheel. Just modify and improve it a bit.
