Thermoquad help questions

-midnight340- Your adapter that you show is for a Quadrajet. The Thermoquad adapter has more meat between the rear flange bolts. Hold that adapter up to the bottom of your TQ and you will see the potential for vacuum leaks on the TQ base.
Ask me how I know. Edelbrock has two different part numbers, one for a TQ and another for a QJet. Although they show the same picture for both.

I appreciated you noticing this. So far the thick stock type gasket above the adapter is sealing off where the TQ overhangs the QJ adapter,
...BUT I do have a vacuum leak which was hard to find. (My vacuum gauge routed inside is showing 5” vs my normal 10-11”.) With a small hose to my ear I discovered a pinhole leak inside one of the adapter’s cast side indentations. Must have “modified” a bit much with the Dremel!!
:D
I’ll do some JB Weld today and that should fix it.
