I don't think there was a 427 Cobra Jet. That was the 70-71 429 Cobra
Jet. The 427, SOHC, Side oiler, etc. didn't use Qjets. The 429 is a
sister to the 460, IIRC.
My guess is they used it for a year and figured they didn't like it.
I rebuilt/tuned a few. I just don't like them. I might like them if
there weren't better options.
I rebuilt a 75 Trans Am for a friend and it turned out good. The Qjet
did just fine on that Pontiac 400.
On my Mustangs I was in the minority with my Carter back in the day.
I ran a few Holleys, too. Those three barrel Holleys are cool.
