Q-Jet ID ? on SS/GT car

danny waters sr · 08-10-2010, 06:23 AM

My son just purchased a superstock gt car 85 camaro Ed Quay (350, 290combo) and it has a q-jet on it with the initials JBR. Does anyone know who this may be and should it be a decent carb .It is a 207 carb.Currently running around 6-7 under in 1/4 mile. Hoping to improve those #'s. May need some help !!!!!!!!!

I do beleive that is a Jim Boburka carb...about 95% sure.. and it should be a good carb . Jim has been doing carbs for a long time.Luke SS 311

That is a Boburka carb. The best carb I ever had was one that was built by Jim Boburka. Wish I had never sold it. That should be an excellent carb as long as no one has messed with it.
