No probs. I'd do it again. It was a nice piece, got it from Summit.
I've bought a bunch of TQ's for parts and usually some screw is frozen or its corroded pretty bad. For what the reman cost it wasn't worth rebuilding one. Came with brass floats and the bowl was resurfaced too.
For my application it did need the seats replaced with larger ones, car was cutting out on the big end.

I bought one years ago and it had mismatched rods in it. The throttle shaft was loose on the replacement for that one. I bought a different brand, maybe a Tomco for the same money that didn't require a core deposit. Now I will just rebuild whatever I want. I collect them. Where did you find the bigger seats? I didn't know they were available. I have a strip kit I bought years ago. Never have had an engine that needed the bigger stuff.....yet!!

Adam, In the name of doing good business I won't knock Holley in public, and I don't know what your goals are (performance/restoration/etc.). I only do stock rebuilds to factory specs. If you desire brass or plastic floats, no problem, I offer you the choice. As far as performance goes, I have a stone stock 71 TQ on my own 426 cube small block, I chose it because it performed the best on the dyno in a direct comparison against some popular modified versions, they are pretty darn good carbs in stock form! I can make these promises: It will look original, run like new, and be unconditionally gauranteed for as long as you own it. EVERY aspect of my carbs are rebuilt or refreshed, no skipped steps or parts. All are test run on a running engine, rebushed throttle shafts bores, plating done in the correct colors (Holley does all in only one color BTW) and a proper factory appearing finish on the carb body (unlike most others that just media blast them). You will find no spray painted parts on any carb I offer! 3 week turn around time on average. I can supply some cores if you need one, just let me know the application. If you have any questions give me a call, advice is free!

It definately is not a concours carb. It's a basic reman just like you would get if you went to the parts store. I was neck deep in aquiring parts and didn't have a good baseline TQ to fire the car up with. Price was right, I took a chance knowing I can send it right back to summit if it was garbage but I guess I got lucky.
I got the bigger seats from Demonsizzler.

I never knew Holley offered a reman TQ.....that's another source to remember.
I have a buddy that's trying to rebuild one I've been running for years. The throttle shafts have some play....not terrible, he says. It's biggest problem is the drip drip drip from the wells.
I am so sick of trying to mate a Holley or a Carterbrock up to a kickdown linkage I could scream. (and yes, I have all their little adapter doodads)
I set a TQ up there and everything just falls into place. My 360 ran better with the old TQ than the new Holley.....it's just a bear to start when hot because of the well leaks. Buddy says this is an easy fix and that he may even have a better thottle plate for it.
I'm all for factory parts. I can't wait to hit the track next summer with a fresh TQ and prove they didn't deserve the "Thermo-bog" nickname.

When using the TQ....should the fuel pressure be at 7psi like a Holley or do they like a different setting?

Same for all of them but I actually I don't reccomend fuel pressure being over 6lbs, 7 being the upper most limit.
