Quadra Jets are about the simplest carbs out there.....
Said nobody ever, like fking.... ever.
Qjet is the equivalent of a mechanical computer for fuel. Rube Goldberg masterbates to qjet illustrations. It's the most polarizing carburetor in existence, haters and cult followers.
It's a lot of things, but "simplest" is the furthest word from the truth.
I would agree with this......
Back in the day we had a guy, 1 guy , in town that could make them work. When you got a quadrajet from him it was an amazing carburetor.
We used them on our Jeeps, one of the few that wouldn't flood out 4 wheeling.
Holleys were junk off road, but made more power.... Carters were junk and didn't make power
