" When Edelbrock was a Major Sponsor with the Q-Jet replacement carbs, NHRA changed the rule to allow Edelbrock to sell more carbs..."

So far, I've never read exactly what years the Edelbrock Q-jets were made. I did find this article that says they bought a new one in 1997.

And this site says production was stopped in around 2002.

So, I assume production began in the early 1990's. Does anybody know, for sure ? And, the exact year they were made NHRA legal ?

I know now that any correct size Q-jet is legal. But, I'm still curious about the E-Q-jets & the rule change. I was out of racing so long that before I learned to use a computer, a few years back, I'd never even heard that Edelbrock sold Q-jets. And, by then, they'd been out of production for several years. So, ya'll please excuse my ignorance on this subject.

Thanks !
