Going from Edelbrock 1406 to Thermoquad on 360 and wondering if I'll need different throttle extension lever and stud or likely one on the 1406 will transfer over. Probably would help to have a pic I know just not at the truck right now. Thanks.

You have the bolt on extension on the 1406. You should have a extension on the Tquad.

Had one for years on my A38/E58 Aspen and loved it. Never had an issue with it. My Power Wagon (In which I'm trying to be patient with builder to start on the 440 it's getting) was purchased with the 1406 and not the TQ it had from factory.

Ever since I ran a TQ on my 452 strokes I’ve been a fan.

you don't need an extension for the T-Quad like you do for the edelbrock [er, i mean, eLDEbrock biggrin] carb.
the only thing i'm not sure of, is any factory applications for international engines. i don't know what kind of linkage they tad.

thermobogs will have correct mopar throttle shaft and you just need the stud for throttle cable/PTK lever which you should have on the eddy adaptor bolted on the 1406. like the Q-jet on the dippy, a mopar q-jet has the correct throttle lever you just need a throttle stud for it.

only thing else you need is the correct tools and knowledge for tuning on a thermobog. I have only saw a couple that someone else had that worked great but I have never got anything out of any I had to bolt on my junk other than a fire.. or 2. but then again I just about burnt my truck up this yr with a holley double pumper. so I guess any carb can do a fire with easy?..

Thanks Mike and I'm taking it to the same guy who hoisted the 318 into the bed of your truck so I'm pretty confident he can tune it proper....despite his preference for chebbies he's seen a lot of Mopars up

That would be a nice setup to have on something other than a 426, like a 440 or stroked 400/451 cubic incher up

I filled my truck with ethonal free gas last night. I've been using 10% E and 93 octane for where I have timing set so no pinging. Highest E free they have here is 89 octane and it's same price as the 93 octane 10% which was 3.89/gallon. I don't know how TQ would handle the corny gas. Hate to commit to corn free gas and 89 octane as well. Dropped truck off to mechanic today to install and tune carb.

Ran mine on Calif ethanol-laced pump premium for years, zero issues with its TQ.

Glad to hear that^

Installed it today and wouldn't start. Opened it and floats were set so bad barely let any fuel in. Adjusted floats and runs good. Pretty happy with it so far. I've missed that sound. Right now it has the 89 octane but I haven't heard any pinging so thinking I might be able to get a little more timing in it if I go back to 10% E and 93 octane.

I do need to adjust shift points now. Shifting much to early now so got to get under the truck and adjust throttle pressure rod.
