Hey all, just wanted to make all you Q-jet people aware of something I tried. I purchased a #1982 Edelbrock Q-jet "marine" accelerator pump for my 71 HO Q-jet on my 76 T/A. It is a reduced length pump for quicker shot that runs about $12 for any parts store. It comes with a new pump and return spring. I installed the new pump and spring (which was stiff) and got a severely delayed shot if one at all. I reinstalled the stock pump and spring and all returned to normal. I then installed the stock return spring with the new pump and found that's the hot combo. Throttle response pick up tremendously. I bought one for the 71 HO Q-jet on my dad's 72 T/A with the same results. I don't know if any of you have tried this and found it helped any but I hope maybe this may help someone else. Rocky

In comparing the length they are more correct for a 75 and up as they are shorter than the earlier Q jet pumps. I bought one to to have an extra for my earlier Q jet . It is close to the one for my 78 Q jet.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
