A while back, one of the members made mention of a site that supplied info
on a company that sold an assembly that took the place of coil springs on
2WD Fords. It consists of Firestone airbags and associated brackets. I am
beginning to seriously look into this. Have any of you had experience with
these?

I like the Rochester Q-Jet myself, even with the adapter. I don't really
understand why the adapter is a detriment, as it directs the secondary
flow forward creating turbulence. I would like to hear more about the
theory involved if one (or any) of my fellow enthusiasts would care to
enlighten me. If you want a square bore my choice in this order is the
Carter AFB or Edelbrock clone(my brother-in-law says that they are
stingy about the completeness of the setup, so be prepared to adapt)or
the Autolite 4100 second only because rebuildable cores and parts are
getting pricey, and they like the 2100 will heat soak more than the
Carter for some reason. I still like the Q-jet best though. With the
problems my engine has(lots of blow-by and loose forged pistons)the
tailpipes are burnimg chalky. You can pull it indoors and hardly smell
the exhaust, the Holley as lean as I could get it to run would make your
eyes water immediately. I don't think any other carb could manage the
fuel and air any better.
