Anybody here have much experience with Thermoquads. I have a crazy urge to put one on the 340. I have a couple lying around, but one is a later one from a 360 (1978), so smog requirements could have affected its desirability, although I have read you can modify them. The other one is a more desirable 1974 that came off a 440 truck. From what I have read 72-75 is the sweet spot for building a nice carb, and i guess that being from a truck it would have less smog characteristics than one from a carb. Unfortunately being off a 440 its probably way oversized. I was suprised to see that Summit sells remanufactured TQs for 305 dollars. Anybody ever use one of theirs??
A high school friend had a1972 2 door fury with a 440 & TQ and and when he would jam on it, it made a very distinctive foghorn like sound. That car for a big c-body boat would flat out move and get with the program, and tromped many lighter weight chebbies and ferds.
