Another option to look at if you haven’t already are the brawler carbs. They are essentially holley clones which the motor trend guys use quite often and seem to like.

Or just go on Craigslist and get one for like $100. I have a edelbrock setup in my truck that I think I got for free from someone and it runs just fine.

It is insane to me that anyone would pay any amount of money for a quadrajet rebuilt or otherwise. There are like ten thousand aftermarket carbs that way better and are mostly totally fine out of the box.

qjets are supposed to be pretty sweet when set up right, with the tiny fuel-sipping primaries and big fat secondaries.

at least, thats the praise ive heard sung about them from several sources, i just put holleys on stuff lol

I mean any carb setup right is probably fine. But most of those aftermarket carbs are better. I mean I got a edelbrock carb and manifold from a friend and I put it on the 307 in the truck with 0 tuning and it runs totally fine.

**Edit**

I should mention I got it for free and I never touched the carb, I didn't even open it up and clean it.
