Brand new to Thermoquads- a few questions I need help with

The Carb Shop has some TQ parts.
Find a different TQ, a small primary unit with idle screw and vacuum port for a distributor.
Edelbrock rods need to be bent shorter @ 3/4 of an inch. The rods themselves are much thicker and require some work to fit. Ether turned down in lathe or design a new tree to fit them on. BTDT

Rods and nets have always been a PIA for these carbs. I have over the years bought junk carbs just for there rod and jets to make my own kit.
