Re: Carb size ?
Careful though. I slowed mine down .3 doing that in the wrong area.

Fortunately I have almost 200 Thermoquads on the shelf. Plus 25 Q Jets. When my son Jon was about 5 = I gave him a big high sided garden wagon and a Wallet full of $5.00 Bills when we went to the Pomona Swap meet every month. Then he would spend the weekmend trying to buy every Thermoquad he found for $5.00. A few of the Mopar racers on this site still remember seeing him every month and selling him a few. He is pretty familiar with them by now 25 years later.

Re: Carb size ?
200? Wow , I was considering myself kinda lucky having 5 virgin Holley boosters. That's after I've ruined 2 already, they M i g h t be saveable.
Love that story. Curious, I know the primaries are small, are TQ's very good on fuel mileage? Without getting driveability issues?

Re: Carb size ?
For a carb and not FI they we pretty good on MPG for
the 70's. If you got the rear Air Door adjustment dead correct they were pretty fair on drivability. However not so much the 71 first year versions only 340s. They were recalled and replaced with the different metering 72 version for drivability issues= Although I prefer the 71 for the race track if can find them and the unique jets and other stuff.
