I am pleasantly surprised at the top end with the Autolite 1.12, but of course dissapointed at the throttle response & low end.  

I belive the throttle response on the tiny rochester 4G will be impressive once I get the linkage road worthy to test.  It makes me want to re-visit the Q-Jet, this time with a better test specimine, armed with my box of jets & meetering rods & hangers.

In street trim the y seems to love the velocity of the small venturi, but the funny ports seem to like the flow capcity of a larger carb... Maybe it will be a best of both worlds??

Or am I just bench racing again???? 

Still adjusting and tuning.

Edelbrock: starts like crap, need to pump the hell out of it and turn car over several times before starting (hard on starters wires cylinoids and doesn't look good in front of people when hard starting) although once running doesn't perform too bad good and tourquey but poor fuel economy. Every edelbrock on anything ever run acted the same way.

Holley: Best starting, let car sit 6 months and just touch the key and the car is running in first revolution of cranking over. excellent all around performance but they are sensitive and need regular maintenance and tuning. moderate economy.

4100: Starts almost as good as the holley, sometimes have to give one or two pumps and car is running within one or two revolutions of cranking over. Smoothest operation, best economy, Best fuel atomization of any carb ever built, least maintenance, can't leak. The number one choice for all around carb.

BG Race demon: Coming later at a dragstrip near you.
