:I added the spacers to a page named Carb spacers (made from a previous page, Choosing a carb spacer). The Carb spacers page is linked to Engine, Carburetors and Undeveloped articles (until it's fleshed out) categories. Sound OK?

::Thank you. That sounds like a good plan. I will go ahead and a link to it. I was also wondering if we should have a "modifications" section, either in this article or a separate one, that covers how to do things like 90* fuel inlet or adding a spacer and a whatnot for better performance. Thoughts?--[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 08:47, 16 March 2012 (MDT) | ::Thank you. That sounds like a good plan. I will go ahead and a link to it.

| + | :::That's up to you- but doing an article containing ''only'' original material is going to be fairly brief if it's based on what '''I''' know about hotrodding the Q-jet. There are some mods I can give you that I don't see in print, but they alone wouldn't constitute an entire article. Definitely three or four sections in an article, though. | ||

| + | If you want to, do it the way you think is "best", it can get changed and worked over- kinda like I did to the sub sub Q-jet category I did. Then UN did.lol It's all good. Might try putting "advanced" repair/mods together (bushings, the small piece that fixes a broken accelerator pump arm boss, changing the secondary opening ratio, using an electronic Q-jet for racing (it actually works pretty good), putting slots in the air valve, changing the position of the secondary enrichment orifices, etc, etc). Still couldn't say 100% that would make a separate page, but it'd come damn close IMO. I'll think on this some more and you do the same and between the two of us we'll come up w/something, I'm sure. It's all about '''''synergy''''', right?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 07:42, 5 April 2012 (MDT) | ||

| + | You may notice I removed the block quote and credits from a couple passages of mine from the Hotrodders forum that were used here. I did this when I made additions/changes to the original text because it's obviously now different than the ''original'' text. It's still original- all from me- but in this case I don't need to be credited directly for the text. I think if it were credited like that, contributors will be too hesitant to edit. That OK?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 07:42, 5 April 2012 (MDT) | ||
