My stepson, who lives in Reno NV, just bought an 84 Ramcharger. I'm not a truck guy and I live in NC. The truck is an auto with the 360. It is in good shape but any truck that old is likely to have issues. This is my stepson's 1st truck but he is mechanically inclined. His friend is recommending that he replace the ThermoQuad. He says that they can leak gas and don't work well in offroad situations. I know TQs are often misunderstood. The carb needs rebuilding. Should he replace it, if so what should he replace it with? Are they worth rebuilding?

I'd rebuild it. That truck if stock has a BUNCH of emission controls that interface with the carb.

So what did you do with the venturi vacuum port, evaporative emission hose(s) and EGR? There's a couple more but it's been too many years. I think there were 9 or 10 vacuum lines and maybe an electic solenoid hookup for the evaporative system? I can't remember now if the CTS hooked to the carb or not?
Holley used to offer a replacement, list 7855 if I remember.
