I would get a quadrajet for a 1970 350 in a C10, if I were buying a rebuilt for that application. The most likely things to go wrong with a Qjet are float getting filled with gasoline, float level changing, and the plugs in the bottom of the carb leaking. I think a rebuilt carb will cost right around $300.
You could try to fix yours.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
