My stock T.Q. was warped and letting all kinds of air in. The thing would stumble all over itself off the line and never really ran very well. I heard this was a very common problem with T.Q. on motorhomes due to the heat. I took it off and replaced it with the Edlebrock stock replacement for a quadrajet (#1905) and it was expensive. It was also bigger (795 cfm) so while it has plenty of power, much more than before, it's also sucking more gas. I'm serously contemplating the Holley 670cfm 2D TBI that was mentioned in this post some time ago. This would also allow for use of flex-fuel (E85) that should have better availability in the future.
