You are the best guys! Thank you very much! Where can i buy a carburetor Quadrajet/Edeblbrock/Carter which is easy to replace the original Thermoquad? I live in Germany and this kind of modifications are not so easy to realize. I am very glad about your help
I got two Carter AFBs off eBay around a decade ago. One for myself and the other for my daughter's '59 Plymouth Savoy 383 cu. in. restomod project. I don't know what the junkyard situation is in Europe, but you can sometime find them there.
You may be able to find a used Edelbrock Performer on eBay. There's plenty of online sources, like Summit and Jegs, who sell new Edelbrocks and there's probably one or more 'brick and mortar' stores near you who sell them. (They're available and sold worldwide.)
You may need to work with, or at least ask, IMPCO about using something other than a Thermoquad.
I may be wrong but I thought all Thermoquads had black plastic float bowls. It's strange the installation instructions reference Thermoquads but rule out using many of them.
In any case, Leeann and VintageMopar probably know more about Thermoquads and Quadrajets than me. (Most of my experience has been with one- and two-barrel carburetors.)
