Of course I took mine apart to check float level etc,but i just wasted my time.they say there preset at the factory and there not lying,Took me longer to change the spark plugs then to do the carb install.Anybody still using the old thermoquad this conversion I highly recommend!

Have a great day!:B
Well, I just installed this combo. Runs ok. If I slow the RPM's via the idle screws it gets rough. After calling the Edelbrock HELP line I found out this is not a direct replacment for the Carter ThermoQuad. I know, it was never said it was. I also found out this is not an emissions legal carb due to its lack of vacuum ports.
It did go on quite nicely tho. Sure hope I can get this thru DEQ!
Just an FYI for y'all out there.

The 795 cfm I beleive is the one for replacement but the money difference is a lot.sure glad I live where I do!
It is the replacement (#1905) which I bought ($509 @ Summit Racing). Now I have problems when it gets hot "loading up" and dying. This actually only happens when putting along in traffic or backing up to park, but it is nerve racking! I'm going to call Edelbrock to see if they got a solution.
According to the guy I spoke to at Edelbrock, they do not have a direct replacement for the Thermoquad. He was not very forth coming with info... kinda had'ta drag it outta him! His total answer was "take it to a shop, they should be able to make it work!"
Not the answer I was looking for.....
