Thermoquad Issues

First off, what the crap is THAT spring? Let's figure that out first. That ain't supposed to be there.

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 new port for it, change out the carburetor baseplate, etc.?) on a Thermoquad (leanburn) that doesn't a port for it in your repertoire?
