My 83 Silverado with the 305 and Qjet is still my daily driver, bought the truck new, the carb has been rebuilt, the carb outlasted the engine due to leaky valve guide seal and piston rings, don't concern myself with gas mileage or HP ratings, she's been my daily driver for the last 35+ yrs and the Q jet just keeps chugging along.
Beautiful truck. And still in service. Bravo!
