[AT] OT Chevy engine ID?

[charlie hill]

There's nothing wrong with a good old quadrajet in my opinion.  If you could 
find one that was on a big block motor it would probably do a good job for 
you.  I've got a q-jet on the 454 in my boat and it works well. (well it was 
working well when I stopped running the boat a few years ago).   For a while 
Edelbrock was making a Q-jet replacement that was very reasonably priced. 
I was intending to buy one of them at some point but I checked their web 
site a month or so back and they don't make it any more.
