Throttle shaft slop is not usually a problem unless the carburetor is a high mileage unit or someone used throttle springs with too much pressure causing the bores to become egg-shaped, typically most evident on the driver side. This is why my process includes re-bushed bores with every carb, its a simple procedure to eliminate any potential slop issues. 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.

Yep bought a kit with the ream and the bushes. Disassemble the carb, and you can use the ream in reverse in the drill chuck and the straight shaft on the ream is used as a guide in the throttle bores to enable you to ream it straight and true. 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvHIWqdJX8sWell 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.

Are those TQ TeeSHirts still being sold? The above shirts with that logo have never been sold. "Photoshop" 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 I am making up some shifts soon with carb logos, that's a cool one but I'd use a different carb for mine
