hey sam,here's the paint code,,,how it reads on the can they gave me,,,no brand name

08-57062
fairway green-met
97-99 gm-usa
code: 309D

thanks, I will have to see what they come up with. is the paint a single stage paint, or is it a base coat/clear coat?

base/clear

I have the stock manifold,just put it back on,,I was just trying to find out about the thermoquad

do you want for me to research the correct model number carb for your truck?????

why sure,,,,,,,,,,,,that would be great
thanks Sam

get over it,holley 750 vacum sec , seems to work best,no problems here,maybe something in the the air in HA. Thermoquads are the thing of the past,unless you are looking for mileage, and to get from A to B. lol

if you know your stuff you can make a thermo quad a 750cfm with tons of power and decent mileage

Ric......
I have to agree with DRT, they can be made to run if you know what to do to them!

Don't get me wrong,I can admit it ,theres a guy here who is very good at theroquads 40 yrs my sr ,just don't feel like flushing the toilet everytime I step on it.I want preformance ,not the hestitate that comes with it.lol

Sorry, I still beleive a holley with the right intake is the way to go,this is what makes this world tick,if we all agreed on the same thing, we all be a lot of boring S.O.B 'S . Everyone to there own ,besides the east coast sucks to set up anything ,especi ally the last 2 years,we are still in a late spring or early fall.!!!!doesn't change ,weather sucks!!!

OH yeah,how many toilets are on any performance vehicles,that want to run,NONE,SORRY, I felt like doing that,dam it, lol

it's ok, they have help for that

joe....
the correct model number for your carb in TQ-6545-S. The chrysler part numeber is 3751472. These carbs come up on ebay often, and mostly under 50 bucks. good luck.

the 750 edelbrock on there now works great,,,I'm just tryin to keep the truck as close to stock as possible,,,,now when a 440 goes in the duster,,,,it wont be gettn a TQ
thanks for the research

Dynotune,

I've seen a lot of Thermoquads on ebay, but not very many 6545's.

There was a 6545 a few weeks ago on ebay, but it went for $112.50.

I have actually bought a couple of the 6545 carbs off of ebay in the past year. glad to hear you got some rest.

easy way to spot a 6545 TQ is that they will have only 3 vacuum ports on them, 1 for the PCV, one for the spark advance, and 1 for the choke pull off. The center phelonic black section will not have any ports on it, as well, the top cover will not have any ports either. in my opinion, it is one of the better carbs to find, because it lacks all of the emissions B/S on it.

oh and with the aftermarket carbs ive had trouble wit holley and what im buying for my 79 is a demon 750 but still for the money TQs are cheap
