That means it's not TPI, but it has a carburetor. Most people think Q-Jets, suck but, they're quite good when tuned right. Only thing is, that means it has the LG4 motor, stock 165hp, which will run about 16s in the 1/4. The weak parts of that motor are exhaust, cam , heads.

Mark is right. If tuned properly the Quadrojet is fine. If you buy this car work on improving the exhaust, cams and headers. This thread should be in either the Carborator or Gen engine boards. Most LG4 questions are answered there.

BTW: I am 10 minutes from Frankfort. You can private mail or email me if you want to see my Quadrojet or need other help.
