When searching for a Qjet, I ended up going with National Carburetors #ND4528, based on my truck's specs (1976 K20, HD Emission, 400 engine). I installed it on my freshly rebuilt 400 and it started right up and idles like a dream. When I blip the throttle, the response is immediate, without any stumbling. I haven't driven it on the road, so I'm sure adjustments will be needed, but out of the box, I'm very happy so far.

Note, I installed a Carter inline electric fuel pump. The best part is when I turn the ignition "ON", the 400 fires IMMEDIATELY. It starts almost faster than I can release the key. I've used that Carter pump before and it was very reliable.

I was looking at National Carbs website several times. I was thinking of buying from them rather than Jet Performance. Less money and Might even be a better core and the inside parts not hacked up like Ive heard Jet does.

Most the core / junk-yard Q-jet Carbs for sale on ebay , for rebuilding, are corroded/rusted garbage, nothing salvageable
