Never had that problem. Guess again? Some people have problems while others never do. Been running TQ's for 40 years. 71 and 72 models. Loved people like you, used to get a lot of great carbs cheap or free. By the way, a lot of "race" stuff does not mean it is better for the street. The TQ was good for as much as .2 in the quarter mile on an automatic car and no gain on a 4 speed over a Holley, Ed Hamburger. Dream on.
