Yes the small primaries make a big difference in fuel economy. But the TQ is great carb, it can be adjusted and fine tuned so many different ways. The new Street Demon carb by Barry Grant is just a modern interpretation of the old TQ. The reason most people don't like TQ's is that it does take a lot to set them up, but once done properly your car will start, and run, like it has throttle body injection...at least in my opinion.
Here are a few pics of my wagon...



Loaded up and already driven 3+ hours....stopped for lunch.



Another pit stop...me and my daughters....pic is a couple years old now.



And up at a cabin. We had to drive over and hour on dirt roads to get there...



And interior pic....



And an old motor pic...



I really need to take some new updated pics.

Very neat car. I love it when guys actually USE their cars. Thanks for the pix. :icon_thumleft:
