I just bought 3 kits at the NAPA store for the 71 Thermoquad. The strip kits are difficult to find but there are some still out there (they are just very pricey). I have done the holley jet conversion but was not real happy tends to load up at low rpm but does work at full throttle. You can find Thermoquads at most swap meets for real cheap just take the jets out and redrill to what you want. OOPS I just saw you were in Finland swap meet finds might be difficult. John Irving posts on here all the time he has tons of old carbs maybe he would sell parts and ship to you.

I have 250 Thermoquads in the shop and 30 AVSs.
Also quite a lot of pieces and parts. You can message me on this site. I do not build them anymore for customers but still can give some some advise. John Irving

I have an old strip kit from '87 or '88 when I bought it, my cousin got a edelbrock for his maverick and I told him to get a carter strip kit and I'd tune it for him. He went to a local CARQUEST and picked one up. (this was 6-8 months ago)
You guys are saying they're not out there?? It wasn't EXACTLY like mine, but rods, springs and jets. Just no needle and seat selections like my kit. This was for a AFB or AVS style not a thermoquad, maybe that's what I'm missing? |

Ah ok, thanks Jim, I knew they looked different on the outside, didn't know if the internals could be swapped.
