Quadrajet parts.com has some rods and hangers last time I looked. Also if there is a carb rebuild shop anywhere near your location they might have a stock of them. They are getting more difficult to find.

Q-Jet builder Mike McDonald will be at Orlando. He will be crewing for Kevin Wells. Kevin has a blue G/SA Nova #3106. Mike will have parts and will get you steered in the right direction.

There are many other ways to pick up some ET besides in the Q Jet. Of course Mark Lewis can help with that ,as can Mike McDonald

You need to try another q-jet for comparison, I thought I had a good one, borrowed another and was 2 tenths quicker. Also, most jet tuning is with secondary rods.

I'm not a real Q-Jet tuner, but I question the 6.5 lb fuel pressure.
N/S area vs the small float What do the experts say about that? I have had Q-Jet customers that are very particular about regulator location and fuel line routing to the carb... OK What you say Q-Jet experts??

I have 2 spare Q-jets in my trailer, plus the one on the car, built by the 3 major builders, two of whom have now retired.
I have actually had a case where a carb ran great two weeks ago, would not qualify the car. Yet, the carb which ran like poop 2 weeks earlier, ran the best ET ever. I also have one which will get my down the track, significantly under the index, every time. Getting the rods and hanger correct for race day can be a challenge. There is no easy answer and really no cheap solution.
