If you can find a good "virgin" Quadrajet that has never been messed with/messed up by somebody that don't know what they're doing, then rebuild it correctly, they are one of the best carburetors that has ever been built. The problem is that they haven't been produced in many years and most of the available cores are either completely worn out or butchered up beyond repair. For a daily driver, I would just get a new Edlebrock 1406 for about $300, bolt it on and go. All the ones I have ever used are extremely reliable and run fine straight out of the box.
