That's the stock carb on my Li'l Red Express and I like it. It took a little bit of tuning to get it dialed in, but once you know the in's and out's of the TQ, and pick up one or two special tools, you'll find it's a very versatile carb and very easy to tweak.

Core, about $20
kits about $30.
2 hrs of your time to rebuild
Beating a $600 holley HP...
PRICELESS!
Ok they may not really beat it but can definately run just as good and it will run better on a too small motor and it is a lot lighter. Pretty much a no brainer to me

Great for driveability, I daily drove my thermoquad spring-fall for 6 years. My only complaint is I always found that bog when you nail the throttle open from a dead stop to be very difficult to tune out. Or I'd get it tuned out, temperature outside would drop and it would be right back there. To be expected I guess but still annoying.

I'm about to use one on my hot 360, its a 850 with the choke removed so it flows about 910cfm. Hope it works as good as my holley 750 with annular boosters.

It's the nicest, most flexable carb Mopar ever installed on one of their motors. Great fuel economy possible with the cfm capacity for any size motor. It's to bad the aftermarket never picked up on it, it could have rivaled Holley as an aftermarket performance carb.Dave

I'd run one if I could find a decent dual plane intake for a small block & spread bore.
