So I took a little cruise down the highway yesterday to give a co worker a ride. 12 mile trip, burnt a quarter tank of gas. To save you time looking for your calculator, that's roughly 3mpg. The truck has been running extremely rich for the last month or so. Bad enough that by the time I get to work I smell like gas all day. Resetting idle mixture doesn't seem to help but for a day or so, then right back to running rich. I don't care to have the 1406 rebuilt. I think I would rather go with a qjet. My grandpa has an edelbrock qjet that's still in the box. He bought it for his chevelle but never used it. He told me for $100 plus my 1406 I could have it. Does anybody else run one of these? Are they worth messing with? On the other hand, a guy I work with has a qjet he just rebuilt he would let me have for $50.
