TQ questions
I have 4 TQs here. 2 are the same as each other, and 1 each of 2 more different numbered versions. I'm wanting to know what difference there would be if all are in equal condition how they'd run on a mild 318. (Don't shoot me, but besides a mild cam that will include a set of 302 heads and a "regular" performer because that's what I have.) Cruiser, not racer, in 78 b body.
The 2 that are the same are number 9265S.
I believe they were originally spec'd for an 80 360 in a truck. (For some reason I'm thinking more specifically ramcharger)
Probably 12-15 years ago I sent both of them off to demon sizzler because they had slop in the throttle shafts.
I don't remember what I was planning on using them for, think it was my 83 D250 with a magnum head swapped 318. I ended up with an Edelbrock/AFB on that one. They were sent out, and went into the attic to collect dust when they got back. I haven't run them at all since.
They have throttle kicker solenoids on them, as that's what the curb idle screw butts against.
Id be removing the solenoid and making a sheet metal L bracket for the idle screw to adjust against.
These also have a solenoid of some sort hanging off the air horn at the back of the carb, above the PVC nipple. I don't know what that is, or whether I can just leave it unplugged or if I did utilize it would it have to be 12v constantly with the key in or switched somehow.
I'll add pix and details on the other 2 in another post.
