in my other post you will see i have been working on the Q-jet on our boat. all i realy want to do is replace the gaskets and make sure all the setting are right.
any how when i went to NAPA this morning to order the plug seal kit the young fellow behind the counter asked me if i ment the throttle body or direct injection style as he wasnt sure which a Q-jet was.:eek:

hope you get as big a kick out of this as i did.:D
