Just saw in Hemmings that this is for sale. I've talked to Larry but am
curious if anyone out there knows or has any thoughts on this car.

Subject: Chrysler carb question
Hi group,
I have a 74 Jensen Interceptor with a 440 and Thermoquad, so I'm hoping to
get a little carb advice from the Chrysler community.
The car starts, runs, and idles perfectly.
The problem is that when I shut off the engine, gas continues to dribble
into the primaries of the carb and really stinks- and I assume this is
also
dangerous. It does this for maybe 5 minutes- long enough for gas to build
up in the carb and begin to drip out through the throttle plate bushings
onto the hot intake!!
I removed the air horn of the carb, and the float levels appear normal, so
it doesn't appear to be a stuck float situation. The gas is coming from
either the idle ports or high speed ports (or both), not from the
accelerator pump jets.
Are some check balls stuck from sitting too long this winter?
For those unfamiliar with the Interceptor, it has no electric fuel pump or
anything else foreign to the Chrysler drive train, which is why I'm asking
for "Chrysler" help with this problem.
I don't mind doing a carb rebuild, just looking for advice as to what may
be
wrong so I don't miss it during the rebuild.
Thanks,
JOhn
74 Jensen Int, 61 300G convt.

For those who also might have a Thermoquad carb on their engine too,
I'll post this reply through the listserver. I hope you don't mind.
The Thermoquad has long primary jets that go all the way to the bottom
of the carb.
There they are sealed with small rubber/nylon (?) O-rings to the basse
of the phenolic-housing.
Chances are that those are worn or flattened and are leaking fuel past
them.
>From the Moparts BulletinBoard I know someone who might have replacement
O-rings for this.
Here is his Website:
http://www.geocities.com/thermoquads/index.htm
Also a thermoquad has "glued on" little wells at the underside of the
phenolic casting.
These can get loose after 30+ years and need to be "re-glued".
I believe JB-weld could be used for this if this was the case.
Best regards,
Herman Meiners

A valve stem seal for a small block Chevy will serve as a replacement for
the Thermoquad jet seals mentioned below. These are the rectangular
section
"O" rings that go inside the valve spring retainer in the second groove on
the valve stem. These should be commom easy to find parts. Larry Johnson
