Yo, It's the Pugmaster here again.
Just removed the carter thermoquad carb from my 440, kicked it, shouted colorful language at it, let it lay there in the rain and mud for a few days as I awaited the arrival of my new Edlebrock carb.
It finally arrived and was I was shocked, surprised ! at how easy it was to install.
LOTS of hoses and other******that was required on the previous carb was sealed off or removed, not needed on the Edlebrock per the instructions.Plus a nice little sticker to apply stating that the carb met all emissions codes. Rosebud is purring now as never before!
VERY expensive carb,($560) but well worth the cost. Easier startups
smoother running, plus they claim a drastic increase in mpg and better response compared to the thermoquad. I'll find the truth of it soon. But, had to trash the original air filter housing. The thicker base plate put the carb height too high. A Edlebrock air filter unit does not sit as high as the orig air filter unit, so I purchased one for $29. Looks great and a perfect fit with a little space left to spare.
