Good Guy Alert!
« on: March 09, 2010 - 05:24:43 AM »
Wade, also known as bullitt, offered his knowledge and skills to help me out.  He went out of his way to rebuild my original Thermo Quad carburetor which had been sitting in a box for the last 37 years.  The Plymouth dealership could never figure out what was wrong with my carb back in 1973.  So within one year of owning my Cuda I replaced it with another TQ from the auto parts store (it cost $70 brand new).  The original went into a box never to see the light of day until this past fall.  Not only did Wade rebuild it, but he made it look better than new!   Wade went far above anything I could have imagined from a rebuild.  Thank You, Wade for helping me out, I really appreciate your kindness.

I can't wait to put it on but that will have to wait until May.

Thanks for the heads up, and congratulations to Wade for his help, knowledge, and skill.  :2thumbs:  :cheers:  Now all I need is an address, One of the old 440's I bought a few years ago has one sitting on it. And a price too of course.  :roflsmiley:  That really looks nice.  :swaying:
