Chief, Yes, the powers that be have there heads just as far up there collective [censored] as they do down there. The more money you pay the less ethanol. really tics me off when my tax money is subsidising the production of that crap.
Gus, Sorry I should have said, Mine is a clone of a Holley 4150 double pumper style carburetor. A few guys started to make copies of the 4150 with all the mods they thought would improve on the original. Most didn't improve squat. I believe Holley now owns the cloners and sells them from their Holley store. There was an Edelbrock EPS 800 on my car when I bought it, easy to tune but seemed I had to keep doing it. Holley had QFT Q series on sale at Christmas so I picked one up. The base plate was defective so that had to be changed, the fuel bowls and metering blocks had metal filings and flakes in them, and the jets were drilled off-square so the holes came out through the threads. I don't know if they are made in the USA any more, but I'm not impressed so far. Every carb has their pros and cons, hard to beat a Quadrajet though.
My sister and her family used to have an acerage in Strathcona county near Ardrossan. Went up there a lot. Are you going to the car show in Red Deer this year?
