thermo-quad question.

Tate, if you take the time and learn the carb, there really no different than another carb. Adjustments are a critical part of any carb, but the T-Q is a little touchy.

The hardest thing about a T-Q is getting parts for it. Feul bowls were recently discontinued and theres several design mods the factory made to them, so a swap is not so easy.

At thermoquads.com , David (AKA Demonsizzler) has lots of parts for this carb as well as others. Rods and jets are a pain to come by and once in a while, a kit shows up on E-bay.

IMO, there worth the time.

I had a 72 340 T-quad that i sold to a guy with a 68 dart 340. It needed rebuilt and tuned but now that dart is a screamer and loves that T-quad. I was impressed, but i had no idea where to start as far as dialing it in is concerned so i just opted for a holley dp and sold the carter to him. I guess they are like the quadrajets for gm guys, you either love them or hate them. I would love to run one someday just to see how it compares to the holley. I know he gets more power out of that T-quad than he did the AFB comp series and gets a few more mpg out of it too.
