TQ carb question

["Mark Swingle" <mark.swingle@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd avoid Bosch platinum's in a car that wants to run rich.  They probably
won't last very long.  AC Delco Rapid Firs are good for a car that wants to
run on the rich side.

Subject: IML: TQ carb question


Hi All,
  I've been watching this thread with great interest.
On my 'new' '73,
 the engine and everything (including carb) is rebuilt,  but pretty much
unused for 10 years.
  I'm wondering about the carb, because:

When changing plugs,  #8 was gas soaked

Hot starts are long, require lot's of cranking

WOT pretty much chokes the engine to death.

the plugs I replaced are NGK's
I used Bosch platnums


I've tried following Kerry's well documented experience with the TQ in his
'73,  but I can't seem to find that topic in his section of the
site.


any  feedback is very appreciated



THANKS


Jack
