What was factory carb on 1978 Monaco 360 4bbl, please?

[David Womby]

I am curious about what the factory fitted. I think it must have been a Carter but which one? What would be closest to it if I can't get a rebuilt one? Edelbrock 1406?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I think that had a spread bore and my engine now has regular square bore intake. I'll keep thinking but I am not having fun with my Summit 600cfm. Mind you, I haven't got the timing quite right yet and that comes first.

Put the spreadbore manifold back on and find an early TQ.

#9104 TQ is the correct carb. If unavailable, an Edel 650 AVS2 would be the best choice.

I think the 9104 is a Lean Burn, doesn't have the ported port for the distributor vacuum advance. I know the 9103 doesn't. Find any 72,73,74,75, or any truck TQ, or the electric choke 9800 series. The TQ wil out perform any Edelbrock in my opinion.

Lemon,
I agree! But finding a TQ in good condition & getting it running can be daunting for those not aquainted with the TQ. So next best is the Edel carb which comes with comprehensive tuning instructions....

Reman TQ's available thru Summit Racing.

I would never buy a TQ from a rebuilder place. They pull them apart and rarely get the top, middle, and bottom from the same carb back together. Those sections have so many different part numbers. A lot of the sections are not interchangeable.
