I may be biased since I just did the same thing but that looks sweet! Black paint is a nice touch, goes well with the valve covers.

Could definitely do it that way - I plan to leave it as is, that way the seal is hitting the hood at roughly the same level all the way around. Originally was going to cut out the full "triangle" on the hood but decided that would stick too far towards the front of the scoop.

Found a friend with an angle grinder today and made the hood cut. Thicker stuff than you'd think, shredded a whole cut-off wheel cutting it out, but it wasn't too bad (after the initial wincing at cutting into nicely painted sheet metal for the first time). I've been following this thread and...

I'm going to a functional scoop so I figured I'd share a couple photos with you guys. Didn't want to cut too much of the hood up, so I bought a 24x24 aluminum sheet and had it cut out on a water jet to match the triangular shape under the scoop between the hood supports. Riveted to it the base...

Well, I ended up buying a Holley 670 Street Avenger. Sounded like it would be easy to tune and since I have never been to the track, I want something I can work on easily but that will be reliable for cruising. Looking for an ld340 but until then I got the eddy four-hole adapter to bolt it to my...

I just looked and judging by the ports this thing has, it is an 80s thermoquad. I'm reading that those are the most complicated and least desirable. I'm thinking, dump it and get a Holly/Eddy?

I'm kind of thinking about just getting a new carb that I will be able to tune since this is my first go around with this kind of thing. I want to learn the basics of carb tuning which is obviously going to be tough on this monster. Any suggestions?

Also, babyblue - how do I go about making sure my TDC is correct? I had that thought too but wasn't sure how to check it.

Don't think so, it flaps down and isn't close to the height of the choke so I don't think it could be hitting. I will check though, maybe take a quick drive around the block with the cleaner off.

So, it sounds like it needs a rebuild for sure. Should I go with a demonsizzler rebuild or just get a new carb since this is my first carb and the TQ is definitely not an easy one to work with for starters? Answers to various questions: - I don't know if the carb is original to the motor, it...

So, I went out for a cruise today (first of the year finally!) and remembered how the secondaries on my carb don't work. I'm running a 360 with a thermoquad on it. I played around with the carb today, I don't think there is a vacuum leak anywhere (about 14-15 at idle, even with about 4 hoses...
