This is what you don't get with parts store or internet parts store rebuilds. You get the same thing if you just buy a rebuild kit and do your own. You need to see someone like Scott to get a proper job done.

I had a few cars with "that sound" like in the 75 New Yorker video.

Those same cars with an exhaust upgrade from manifolds and single exhaust to headers and dual exhaust. I remember losing that sound.
It's always had me thinking that a restrictive exhaust makes the Thermoquad have that sound.

Then loctite the new bushes and drive them in - I used a bolt with the correct OD and the threads cut off to use it as a bush driver.

Worked like a charm up

Well that looks pretty simple. Where do you source the screws for attaching the throttle plates to the shafts? Been many moons since I tore one down that far but I recall having a really hard time finding those screws and maybe just ended up using whatever small machine screw that fit.

The above shirts with that logo have never been sold.
"Photoshop" wink

I made the 'Join the ThermoSquad'-logo a bunch of years ago just for fun. I photoshopped and based it on an image from the cover of a Carter Carburator Tuning book by Dave Emanuel.

BigBlockMopar,

Thanks, though I recognized the picture but never saw a shirt smile I am making up some shifts soon with carb logos, that's a cool one but I'd use a different carb for mine
