Carb size for mild 440

750/800 spread bore. Great fuel economy & go power. Thermoquad's work great if it's a good used one or a properly rebuilt unit. You really need the choke and it properly set up. In the long run you might be better off with a holly spread bore with a electric choke.
I have run the small primary TQ on a (lame) ‘78 - 400 B engine. I suggest a move to the larger primary TQ!
Well well worth it in a big way!
