Will those carbs pass smog in California? I don't think so(?). The TQ was the original type of carb on the vehicle and complies with smog. Even though this Mopar is a 1978 model, it needs to pass smog here in CA every 2 years (isn't that ridiculous?), and pretty much everything needs to be stock for it to pass.
Besides, you've just got to accept the fact that some of us are real diehard TQ fans. Now excuse me, but I've got to get back to banging my head against the wall.
