Thermoquad question

Not all of them are great carbs. I've found the 72 to 74 are the best. There are some later non-leanburn versions out there too. Many years ago I tried running a later 400 carb on my 360 fury. It was lean and just didn't make the power. I swapped to a 73 440 thermoquad and the difference was substantial. I think they're great but the plastic bodies are going bad on most of mine. They're just getting old.

The 71-74 TQ are the best to use, Truck TQ were affected later as the emission requirements came in later for them. Some TQ do not even have ported vacuum for the distributor vacuum advance. They do require a choke to start or they will drive you crazy.
