Mine does as well.
Screw inThe Comp Series TQ as shown in post #16 came with screw in or press in jets. I have two 850s that have press in jets.
Did ya see the fella that put a 1,000 race TQ’s on his Buick? Interesting intake.Thanks, I converted the 1000 to gm linkage, it is going on a stage 1 455 BBB

(I think it was a Buick.)
Jets fell due to rubber o rings that crumbled with modern fuels. Use viton or similar materials and motor on.The push in [ PI ] jets never caused me any problems. My understanding is that the PI jets could fall out, hence the update to SI jets.
With my PI jets, I got some thin springs that gripped the side of the jets & extended to the float bowl floor & kept the jets in place.
No chit. I had no idea. Do you know much about the spacers?The pattern layout is the same as our B blocks, so guys use our intakes with spacers.
No....but I have been told by quite a few BBB guysNo chit. I had no idea. Do you know much about the spacers?

The rating was different from holley due to the water column used.Cool! I have not ran one at the track. Just swapped them out. Always a gain. Mileage and WOT throttle. I’m looking forward to getting my 1,000 on the track.
We had a member here (whom passed away a while back) claiming to have knowledge of there actual flow rate which he stated as 915 cfm. Not to damn shabby. Ought to catch a few with there pants down… LOL
Gotta love “That Sound!”

A 1000 flowed = 950 holley, remove choke and co tour the airhorn, dress the blade screws and shaft for more flow...over 1000 cfm.
Further, on open plenum intakes, use a 1" spacer and remove the carb's secondary baffle plate.....if track and stall convertered. I hear it picks up a tenth or 2
Adapter, yes, but not a spread to sq bore piece...you could grind out 1 to port match spreadbore intake, and enlarge the squirter nozzle 2-3 thou.Oh! You mean like this then…..

IIRC, *I Think* that spacer is from TransDapt or Mr. Gasket. I forget. FWIW, between the spacer and the intake, it’s going to need a die grinder!
I’ve heard a 50/50 on the baffle plate. On day I’ll test it out. But I won’t grind on this carb. I have a few other TQ’s I butcher up for curiosity purposes and will modify one of those instead. It’ll probably look like a troll and a witch had a child, but I’ll see how it performs.
Removing the sec baffle might well pick up a tenth or two. I have an original test of the Comp Series TQ from 1970. Photo of the TQ on a box intake on a 426 Hemi; caption states HP jumped by 30 when sec baffle was removed.
I love TQ's! Wish the RPM Airgap came prepped for a spreadbore. I have no hood clearance for an adapter.Cool! I have not ran one at the track. Just swapped them out. Always a gain. Mileage and WOT throttle. I’m looking forward to getting my 1,000 on the track.

That is a massive amount of work just to accept a SB carb! Ugh.Converting a square bore to spread bore:
racingfuelsystems-My modified LS intake...now Quadrajet ready
I'm running a BPE 408 so the RPM Airgap is a bit special with the use of the magnum style attaching bolts. Can't just swap manifolds, unfortunately.That would be really sweet. I’ve asked Edelbrock about this and they always say…. Time and time again….
We never get that request.
Bull ****!!!
The Weiand Stealth ported rod the TQ will do excellent.
