have a chance to buy a 9801 electric choke non-egr chrysler superquad. i think this would be a good carb, since it says it will replace all previous models of carbs. just wanting to verify that my thinking is straight on this.

thanks

Nice carb for a smallblock but they come jetted somewhat lean so you may have to tweak on it for a performance motor. If it's in good shape it's worth buying as the electric choke is a nice feature. Carter should have put electric chokes on all their TQ's.

Great carb once you get it dialed in. Might run good from the get go!

i went ahead and bought it...usually when i find a good tq for sale, i don't have the money - and i rarely see the superquads for sale. i'll probably take it apart and make sure everything is good with it, as i'll have to get a spread-bore intake, or adapter to mount it. i've heard stories of 440s getting 16-17 mpg, while the most i've ever gotten was 13 with my DP (still pretty good imo)

it's a thermoquad that was released as an aftermarket carb to replace all previous carbs. 800 cfm, electric choke, earlier style design without all th emissions junk that later carbs had.
