Square-bore vs. spread-bore?

This guy didn’t. At least looks that way on the Vic. (Below)
A spacer can add an added dimension to the dynamics of the system that is often discounted and/or ignored or brushed off. You have the air flow path going wide to narrow with or at what ever thickness the spacer is. Sometimes a spacer is good, sometimes a spacer isn’t. The only style available is an open spacer. Most times it is around 3/4 of an inch. I have seen 4 hole spreadbore to squarebore adapters for the QJ, not the TQ. IDK if the TQ will fit due to the reduced size of the QJ’s secondary butterflies and there spacing.

Rob, while I haven't run the TQ on a HP manifold, I have bolted it up to a G1 Torker and RPM Air Gap using a Mr. Gasket adapter and the throttle plates all open and function. The biggest hurdle to get around is the choke linkage since it runs off a choke well on the stock manifold. Looks like the guy in the pic fixed that issue by ditching the choke altogether.
