Carter Thermoquads ~ 'More General Information'

'The Thermoquad Theory'

The average or typical 'fuel temperature' in an all-cast Aluminum Carburetor
fuel-bowl is 130*.

In the Thermoquad with the 'space-age' Phenolic Resin Main Body, the
'fuel temperature' in the fuel bowl was on average 20% {24* to 28*} cooler.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Theory & Analysis ~

* Air Temperature directly effects power.
* Cool-Air is 'denser', so more air will enter the Engine.

A 7.2% Degree 'lower' change in Fuel Temperature will effect
'increase' Horsepower change by {1%}.

The Carter Thermoquad delivered a {20% lower} fuel temperature
in the fuel bowl.

By theory, that was an increase of {+2.7%} in Horsepower gain,
due to 'cooler and denser' air entering the Engine {Intake Manifold}.

So basically, a 'Mopar 340' with a Thermoquad Carburetor produced
approximately {+8 Horsepower} more than a 'Mopar 340' with a
Carter AVS.

Not including an additional {+100 CFM's}.
