Thanks!
I found an Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm in Germany. I hope this would be a good choise. What do you think?
As long as it’s a spreadbore design, which the 1406 is, it will work. I’ve personally never had good luck with Edelbrock carburetors; I owned two and both leaked worse than a cracked ThermoQuad., so at a minimum rebuild it, if it’s used. If it’s new, make sure the housing bolts are snug.
On a completely unrelated topic, Eric, I lived in Deutschland for a few years, im Bad Aibling. My family came to the U.S. from the Palatinate in 1751.
To answer your question, Griff, all ThermoQuads had the phenolic bowl. I had heard about experimental ThermoQuads that had a metal bowl, but I think they’re unicorns. If they were real, there were probably only a couple made, and I’m sure they’ve long gone the way of the Dodo bird.
