Possibly, I was too short on words when I suggested that the Edlebrock 1406 is a solution to most TQ problems. I've "solved" two carb (or EFI) problems on my Imperials with this carb. It is the closest thing to "drop-in" that's available. Once the air cleaner goes on, it's nearly invisible and it's simple to maintain. I wasted a lot of time trying to fix the TQ on my 73...now it starts unfailingly, hot or cold. I want my cars to function reliability...and I have no problem with updating unreliable components. (This is the same reason I replace rotted sill nosing on my house with PVC trim...it's a big improvement over finger-joined trim and it lasts forever...) By the way, the latest issue of the WPC Club newsletter is full of ads for Johnny Rosen parts...he even has a WPC number displayed. Phil Brust Jefferson GA 73 & 82 Imperial
