L72 engine

We have a 455 powered '72 Lemans. The Q'jet is from a '70 Ram Air III engine. The car is quicker than our L78 and satin smooth to drive. I've had lots of Holleys that worked fine. The 4346 on the Chevelle for one. I've had Q'jets the same. I've also have one of each on the shelf that absolutely won't work. Seems like they both have some kind of internal problems. Perhaps casting flaws? None of my usual cures have worked. A well set up carb can make the difference between a car you love and one that you hate. Jim Hand, the Pontiac guru, sure knows how to make them work.

A '72 455 Lemans quicker than an L/78?! OK, some day
maybe we can all sit down and figure-out which cars really
were the fastest. I've spent so many years amassing BBC
SHP components thinking they represented the fastest of the
fast. NOW, you guys come along with your Pontiacs & Oldsmobiles
and ruin everything for me....
