Easily half I've torn down to rebuild the small cups that had been glued in place (very reliable way to build something) under the primary jets fallen off. They made Quadrajets look really good. LOL

Shows how much you know smarty! Those O-rings aren't GLUED, they are pressure fit once you put the top back on. Your GLUE must be from the great gas you were using! Q-Jets are cool to! Anybody can make a Holley run! Jim

Looks like a cross between a T-Quad and the old Holley three barrel !

I guess you just have not found the right person to build one... The new Demon looks like it will be a good street car carb, notice the double boosters like a QJet, they will help with economy.

Holley and Raybestos were bought by another company and that reminded me of this thread and the TQ look-a-like. Anything new about the Demon TQ?

Hope nothing bad happens to Holley after all the progress it's made since almost going out of business several years ago.

The pieces I'm talking about won't press back in, they had white glue holding them in place. Those weren't O rings, they didn't go inside when assembled, but we're very visible. If those were O rings, they were harder than my wife's head and didn't seal worth a damn. When those fell off the well below them in the base plate would, of course, be full of fuel. Real dumb way to build a carb. If there was ever a worse design, it had to be the Ford Variable Venturi.

Btw, I love Quadrajets. Made good money rebuilding Quadrajets.

OK, I got ya. Yes those fuel wells are epoxied in. I can say I have never seen one that has fallen out on it's own. The epoxy does get old and if it is hit or pried it will break off. Easy to fix.The TQ actually is a very good piece. All the MoPar small and big blocks from '71 until the fuel injection change over used TQ's. Some of the fastest class cars still are equipped with them. I have been using and building them for others since they came out. Every factory fuel system has it's faults, fuel injection (my last two race cars were injected) included. Call me crazy, I like the Thermoquad. Jim

P.S. I have made good money building TQ's for racers also!
