Carburetor choice

Prone?

The biggest mistake I see when a TQ is used (rarely seen these days) is the owner ignores the amount of heat the carb will see. This is where the TQ takes a beating and the warping becomes a possible problem.

The OE style gasket is very thick and should be used anytime a TQ gets put into action. Any trick possible that can be used should be seriously thought about when a TQ is employed.
i had always heard people and read that the TQ bodies warp, crack and leak bad no matter what gasket and thats why people always chunk them in trash.. i have a TQ on the shelf that came off a 77 360 truck engine. one reason i have never messed with it
