If you need to get the truck moving and are going to use it as a daily driver. This is your best option ^^^^.
Sometimes when I get to a point with a engine problem (timing or fuel) and can't determine the cause, I will break out the ole Edelbrock and bolt it on to see what changes occur. They are easier to tune. But, remember a Edelbrock is a square bore and a Q-jet is a spread bore. You will need a adapter plate or a square bore intake manifold.
