Edelbrock actually sales a pretty decent little kit for around $100.00 through Summitt. It comes with Like 4 sets of primary hets and 4-5 sets of rods and a few hangers and a nice assortmemnt of goodies for tuning that Q-Jet.

Due to the limited sizes available for secondary metering rods I machine them from larger cores. Vary seldom any need for buying primary rods for the later APT carbs as the tapered second step rods are adjustable. Have plenty of jets and even a custom reamer for making precision sizes, so don't buy them either.....Cliff

I'm no carb expert, just have rebuilt a handful of Q-Jets for drivers. Doug Rowe's book has a nice chart of lots of rods, jets, ... with GM part numbers. Not all are easy to find. I pick a few I like, go to http://www.partsvoice.com and key in the GM part numbers. It'll tell you some dealers, if any, who have that part number in stock. Just start calling the dealers on the list then until you find one that will let you pay for them with a credit card and ship them to you. Mike

Any Delco dealer near you will be able to order these parts for you. I say order because they are not likely to have them in stock on the shelves these days. Have them look in the back of the carburetion parts catalog. Last I checked we are down to 18 different part numbers for the secondary side still available.
