  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I don't know much about Jet carbs but if it was made from a stock q-jet you need to remove the top section(airhorn) tehn the flaot and needle and seet along with main rods. The main rods go into the main jets. You then unscrew the two main jets with a large blade screwdriver. Just be careful there is alot to this if you have never done it. Choke rods and accelerator pump also take some finess to remove. I'm just assuming you have never done this so don't take offense if you know this stuff.

    Yes, definately my first time, so no offense. By the way you describe it, I'd better leave it to the professionals. People have told me that the car needs to run richer to accomdate the change of intake, headers and exhaust, but Iwould not even know what size rods to get. The stage 2 Q-jet is advertised to be hi-po'd up for headers.

    Get a carburator book it will walk you through it. Also you can learn a bit about the carb and it will explain all the different things you can do with it. Drag racing tunes and such. Also it will go through the different sizes of primary rods and secondarty rods. That is how I learned to rebuild them and now I can be at the race track and change rods and jets in 15 minutes or less. Start collecting junk Q-jets for the various rods and jets. Edelbrock has rods and jets for these as well. Good luck!!
