Carb recommendations for my 340

Somewhere around the mid ‘80’s, QJ’s are round a good bit. Exactly when, IDK. But that did become the replacement carb for the TQ at one point.

I’m not a 100% positive on anything on that topic. What I do know is Carter was making QJ’s for Rochester for a while. I never head of a TQ shortage but I did notice both were available or used at the same time towards the end of Carters run as a biz.

Carter officially folded up in ‘84? IDK for sure. I forget.

From there (or approximately from then on) QJ’s were on top of the MoPars.

I've been out of the car scene for a while now so I don't even know if there's any salvage yards in Missouri like they once were. I did do a little research on spreadbore carburetors and I think that the holley 650 was the only spreadbore carburetor available. Does edelbrock even offer a spreadbore carburetor? Unfortunately I'm not real good with carburetor tunning so I would need one that doesn't need constant tunning. I have done some research on carburetors and from what I've read the spreadbore gives the best throttle response and driveability. You guys have said that the Thermoquad can be tuned for a 318, is that changing of the jets? Sorry I didn't mean to highjack the op thread
