Thermo-quad Tips
 
I am attempting to build my own Thermo-quad for 72-73 340. I don't want anything on it I don't need
but, leave or modify everything I do. Is anybody willing to share any tips on successful modifications?
Fuel pressure?
Is the vacuum diaphragm on right rear necessary to regulating air door?
Is converting to Holley jets and removing the metering rods from primary circuit the best?
Is removing the choke S/S legal?
Is a -6 inlet adequate for fuel delivery at say 530 HP?

I've read about 40-50 HP differences in modified Thermo-quads so, there must be some things that work better than others.
Thanks

You can buy the good accelerator pump seals from Ninja Fuel Systems on eBay . Compatible with ethanol laced fuel .

Holley Jets make it a lot easier to tune because readily available.

No metering rods make it a lot quicker to disassemble and assemble
as they are a pain.

Choke must remain in Carb.

-6 works fine...Big float bowl capacity

Diaphragm not vital but helpful in controlling Air Door.


My opinions.......Your results may vary.
