That was the beauty of the Thermo-Quad carburetor. I could sell three or four a week when I got started in the auto parts business back in the '80's. The hot ticket for that came out around '94, when Holley developed a smog-legal replacement.

What BS! I occasionally (only occasionally!) miss the '73 Imperial I drove for several years. When it ran at all, it ran well, and was a dream to drive. It ate carburetors like candy, though, and *maybe* managed 8 miles to the gallon. -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/ Freak out with your geek out! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
