RE: IML: 73 Raw gas smell - the other option

Jerry,

 

You can also swap on a Rochester Quadrajet - the other spreadbore.  Keep the economy (relatively speaking) of the little primaries, and the punch of those huge secondaries.  This will require very little in the way of adaptation.  Throttle cable linkage may require some fabricating, but nothing major.  A benefit is that the Q-jet is so common, and used on such a wide range of vehicles, that you should be able to get a good rebuilt one for a decent price.

 

Good luck.
