I agree that a q-jet will run on it's side, I disagree that it will run standing on your back bumper, downhill it runs pretty good. Anyone that says their carb runs just great has not had fuel injection on the same motor. That TBI woke my engine up, no more stuttering, better top end, better mileage, and I noticed this all in the one week I drove it prior to rolling I also agree with the cheaper part, but it is not easier to mess with than a closed loop system, adjusting when you go to a different altitude, having to rebuild that damn thing in a bathroom in Las Cruces, even when it ran fine when we left. I liked the q-jet over the thermoquad that came on the scout, but it fails miserably to TBI. I am sure you were expecting some outlash like this, so I digress...
