Danny,
Carter did make a Thermoquad they rated at 1000 cfm but it was an aftermarket replacement type carb. It was never an OEM deal. I think it was the Carter Competition Series 9000 and 9001 models. BTW none we ever flowed made anywhere near 1000 cfm. The 750 and 800 cfm ratings are much closer to being realistic but still over rated.
Jeff, I have never seen or heard of a "Red Bowl" Thermoquad. Sounds like an Urban Legend to me. The Motorhome Thermoquads were rated the same as the big block ones,(800cfm) they just had less smog crap involved. They were also available on certain big block Ford motors. Jim
