What could I do with this Thermoquad?

I know a guy getting rid of a Thermoquad for peanuts. It's a 9190S model, which references to a '78 440, Medium Duty, Auto Trans, California carb. It appears to be complete and all the linkages and shafts move freely. It also comes with an incomplete 9036S carb that might be good for parts if needed. I also have a scabby 9117S I can use for parts. Certainly, the 9190S would need a rebuild as it's been sitting for a long time. It is a smogger carb, for what that's worth.

I hear a lot of talk that a good running TQ is a thing of beauty. What would this be good for? I have no BB aspirations so this would likely go on a moderately beefed up 318 or maybe my 340.

And to complicate matters, I am a Carb Goon. They are kryptonite to me but I'd give this a go if it looks like it would work on one of my engine.

TIA, and fire away!
