I was wondering what is the CFM rating on theThermoquad? and dose anyone have any tips on installation?

[RD]

prolly a 650 or less cuz it was on a 360.  not for certain though, not a thermoquad guru.

[Nacho-RT74]

the smallest TQ is 800 cfms, no one is less than that.

Sb used 800s and BB 850s

According to www.thermoquads.com 

The 75'-84' smoger models


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1975, the carbs tops/bowls were changed. This was the end of the non smoger carbs and the begining of the smoger carbs, the first of the 9000 series. *The acception is the 1974-1977 Mopar Truck 440 cu in carbs which were based on the 1974 carbs. For the first time, very lean circuitry was used for less exhaust emissions, rendering these carbs poor performers on non smoger engines. These carbs have a distinctive vertical flat boss on the front center of the top plate which remained through 1984 and were again available in 800 and 850 cfm's. The 1976 carbs were the same as the 75's but for the first time, used a vacuum solenoid attached to the vertical boss on the front of the top plate. Some of these carbs did not have an idle speed screw or a vacuum port for the distributor vacuum advance on the Mopar lean burn ignition. I.H. used the carbs through 1979. This same design was used through  early 1978 and again changed in late 78' through the final run in 84'. Many changes took place on the late 78' to 84' carbs due to smog regulations including electric idle enrichment solenoids added to the vertical flat boss on the front of the top plate and extra ports added to the base plate and even leaner circuitry. In 1979, a final aftermarket T.Q. was available and is known as the SuperQuad, only available as an 800 cfm with the integral 12 volt choke like the 74' Ford carb had. This S.Q. carb was a direct replacement for all oem carbs and was part # 9800/9810, non egr/egr for Ford, GM and I.H. engines and 9801/9811 for Chrysler non egr/egr engines.

well i stand corrected.  that is one helluva big carb for a smogger 360 aint it! wowsers

[Silver R/T]

thats cheap but Im not fan on TQuads so I wouldnt want one for free as I would have no use for it

[Nacho-RT74]

why do you think I love TQs ?... you can control the gas AND still have LOOOTS of power just pressing the pedal little more... if you add teh GREAT kickdown band our trannies have... VRRRRROOOOOOOM.

remember TQs were greated for racing at first...

another plus... plastic venturi area, guarantee of quickgass pass and not loose like on metalic venturies with irregularities on surface ... if is in good conditions of course.

BUT IS TRUE IS A VERY DELICATED carb

I FIXED MINE, I FIXED MIIINE...
