QJet secondary metering rod spreadsheet- COME 'N GET IT!

I just built the mother of all spreadsheets tonight. This one lists all secondary metering rods ever built for the QJet, plus their dimensions, part numbers, ID code, etc. Unlike others you may have seen around (you know where) this one actually has all the correct dimensional and tip length info as measured and recorded by me on scraps of paper for the last 15 years! Other listings contain some pretty bad errors.

But here's why I think it's better than the others: it lists all the rods from richest to leanest starting with power tip diameter, but further refined by taper measurement. It's not all in a big jumble. Identical rods are listed right on top of eachother and ones with simialr taper are likewise right near eachother.

Shoot me an email if you want a copy. Hurry- beat the Christmas rush!

------------------
94 Firebird Formula M6- No options but Z rated tires. No mods over $10. 13.5@105.
79 Malibu "beater" w/junkyard 400 SBC, tweaked QJet 4bbl, finally a decent set of heads, a few other tricks. A maddening 13.000001 @ 108 on the motor with little traction. No nitrous runs with the new heads yet.
Grandma's old 78 Malibu (33K miles!) soon to have the powertrain from the 79 put in it.

"One of the last remaining QJet tuners on Planet Earth!"

Hey, do you think you could send a copy to Dirk to use as a tech article. I used to have scans of the roe book, but dirk lost them everytime i sent them to him, and i have since lost the server space i had them on.
thanks...ed

Ed- Can't put stuff on a website that is copied out of somebody's book. Copyright infringement. I think a built-from-scratch spreadsheet might be OK, though since it's built from my own experience and publicly available information. I'll let the guys who run the board decide that for themselves, though.
