    Holley or Edelbrock

    Carter THERMOQUAD, or maybe one of the new street Demons on a dual plane intake of some kind, just make sure it has the larger ports/plenum intended for the 340/360 and the proper mounting pad to mount the carburetor used (adapters cost efficiency/performance). It's really hard to beat the...

    Thermoquad Issues

    Hey Stroker, when are you going to finish the rebuild sticky? I've got a couple Tquads waiting to go in the soup and while I have some rebuild info, I decided to wait to start on them until I had read your thread. Also, do you have a workaround to get timed vacuum for the distributor (drill a...

    Regulator placement -- EFI setup

    As several slanters running port injection over at .org have stated, running the regulator after the injectors, but before dumping the excess fuel into the return line (like most factory systems not having the more complicated pumps required when there is no return line) per example 1a above...

    Can't shake vapor lock issue!

    Had the same problem with the totally stock and very tired slant in my Feather. Started dying about half the time when you slowed down for a stop light. Thought about raising the float level, but never got around to it. Kicking the static timing ahead to the spec on the fender sticker and...

    72 demon 340 needs a new carb! strong opinion or suggestion?

    I never heard of a Thermoquad rated less than 850 CFM. No way would I replace one with a Holley given a choice. So I wonder what the OP did for a carburetor? Did he rebuild his old one? Or did he buy that one offered by 4404spd, which was probably the best choice of all for his situation...

    Is the Airgap the right intake for life in Canada?

    All depends on whether there's manifold heat and a choke stove (like a stock big block). While you might get away without a choke stove by running an electric choke (not just electrically assisted like the stock Mopar) or dealing with a manual one, if you don't live in SoCal where it's at least...

    Would there be interest in a dodge TBI setup made for our cars?

    So far what I've gotten from this thread is that most agree with me in general; that the Dodge TBI is crude, has less than stellar reliability, no four barrel versions were ever offered limiting you to the air flow of a two barrel, and aside from almost never failing to start, gives lousy...

    Would there be interest in a dodge TBI setup made for our cars?

    I too have thought of fuel injecting a slant and building a custom manifold to accomodate it, but I intend to use my '57 Pontiac injection for inspiration and do it in steel with port injecton bungs at the base of equal length runners coming off a relatively large plenum with a mounting flange...

    Would there be interest in a dodge TBI setup made for our cars?

    I too have lived with a Dodge TBI- for many years on my 90 4 X 4 3/4 ton. I've replaced the actual injectors several times. Ones for a 318 make a 360 run like crap and don't be surprised if they give them to you represented as the right ones. As stated above the computers themselves are very...

    My first 2bbl to 4bbl swap.. scratching my head..

    By around 1972-73 Factory 4160 Holleys were known to have problems and were taken off at the dealerships and replaced while under warranty. I have had three or four laying around since that time that a couple of line mechanics were tossing out and gave me. I vaguely remember someone saying the...

    Looking for better fuel milage

    As said above, sometimes less is more, but even if you're overcammed, ditching that distributor for one with vacuum advance, and moving to a Thermoquad carburetor would be a major step in the right direction. Tighter converter (stock 340 is around 2400 stall) and 2.7 or 2.9 gears would help a...

    Ideas on running a fuel return line

    At least in Calfornia, charcoal canister usage actually dates back to the very early 70s. When I moved to California in the mid 80s, I took my, from out of state, LA motored '71 Dodge van to a place just outside Sacramento for a smog test. It passed the sniffer with flying colours, but...
