Not asking you to "buy" anything .. that is just what I remember happening.

There was never really any good "aftermarket" demand for the TQ(vs the Berry) ... and there WAS that "handwriting" ... and Chryler's OEM demand for the TQ ? .... vs say their demand for a the TBI's that they were putting on most of their vehicles at the time .... was an ant-hill vs Mt Everest.

WHEN WAS the last carb installed on a Mopar ? ... and how about the other companies such as GM and Ford.

I don't know ...I am asking. But it was not THAT far off from when Carter dropped the TQ.
