I thought I would post a pic of a Thermoquad I just went through for Ralph's (RalphsRapidTrnst) 72 Demon. I sold him a custom cam, carb and some other parts. I happened to have this Reman carb on hand so I set it up for him, should feed 500 plus HP.

That's not factory appearing. When did they take the choke plates and linkage off them?
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Who sells them?
I've got a couple left but you can buy them at advanced auto parts. They tend to be hit or miss. It's always a good idea to go through them. You find crazy things like a screw loose or missing, missmatched jets, wrong lingage, you name it.

They never did. I do because the choke reduces the flow a little bit. You have to rejet after removing choke restrictions. There is no rule that says you cant.

WOW! Thats enough to hurt someone. Autozone and advanced did sell them. I just checked advanced and they have the holleys for $280 plus $30 core charge. I'll sell one of mine for less.
