Glad I still have a lathe and my moto tools

Does fuel inlet position still matter?

I think we are going to find a tenth!

Careful though. I slowed mine down .3 doing that in the wrong area.

Thanks Dave:

Fortunately I have almost 200 Thermoquads on the shelf. Plus
25 Q Jets.

When my son Jon was about 5 = I gave him a big high sided
garden wagon and a Wallet full of $5.00 Bills when we went to the
Pomona Swap meet every month. Then he would spend the weekmend
trying to buy every Thermoquad he found for $5.00. A few of the
Mopar racers on this site still remember seeing him every month and selling him a few.
He is pretty familiar with them by now 25 years later.

200? Wow , I was considering myself kinda lucky having 5 virgin Holley boosters. That's after I've ruined 2 already, they M i g h t be saveable.

Love that story.
Curious, I know the primaries are small, are TQ's very good on fuel mileage? Without getting driveability issues?

For a carb and not FI they we pretty good on MPG for
the 70's. If you got the rear Air Door adjustment dead correct
they were pretty fair on drivability. However not so much the
71 first year versions only 340s. They were recalled and replaced
with the different metering 72 version for drivability issues=
Although I prefer the 71 for the race track if can find them and
the unique jets and other stuff.
