Carter Thermoquads ~ 'More General Information'

4bbl,
Must be some sort of mis-communication here. I never asked, or mentioned, ABs in the CS carbs. You did. My two CS carbs are packed away with my carb collection & have been for about 18 yrs. I used them on various engines & never had any problems such as flat spots, tuning etc, by using the parts in the Strip Kit. Had Carter deemed it necessary to change air bleeds, then they would have made them adjustable. I have no intention of checking the ABs in them, will not be using them any time soon, as my current ride has Weber carbs, four of them.
Well aware than Nascar has gone to FI; but not in the 90s when the C & S carbs were around, so my earlier comments still hold.
Do not agree that TQs bogged from the factory 'all the time'. Only have to read comments on TQ users on this forum who have fitted factory TQs to stock engines & have no problems. This assumes of course that the carb has been properly rebuilt & adjusted to specs.
Once the engine is modified, carb mods are likely to be needed.
