Re: 72 TA : New Project
He didn't charge me anything. He said there wasn't much that needed to be done that wasn't done originally, it just needed "fattening up" from the stock specs, a new gasket or two, and rechecking on the flowbench. To me that's still a lot of work and I would have been happy to pay for whatever he would have charged for his time and experience.
That's one of the reasons I will be bringing my future work to him and am happy to spread the word. Another reason is that he is a local business here in Jersey. Not many of those still around these days. There are so many bad experiences in the restoration world, it's refreshing when you get to spread some good news once in a while. (P.S. I don't mean to divert any business from our esteemed resident carb-meister, Eric at VintageMusclecar, since Eric doesn't do Quadrajets any more)

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Glad it worked out...it seems that recently, all of the Qjet cars that I've owned or worked on needed to be "fattened up".
IMO it might be the "Less than 10% Ethanol" swill that they call gas here in Fl. Great stuff.

Re: 72 TA : New Project
Good point on the ethanol angle. That's why I use the major gas brands like Shell that are still gasoline and not a mixture with ethanol.
