1977 Chrysler Town & Country

[John FatFab]

I found that the 4028424 is for a 1976 and 1977 Chrysler 440....so its the correct vintage anyways

Found the matching partial vin on the trans and it is matching as well

Out on the town tonight for our company Christmas party!

Well I'm on the hunt for a good usable/rebuildable thermoquad. I currently have a Edlebrock 1406 carb on it currently. While I have no complaints about the carbs performance or driveability....it just doesn't make the sound I distinctly remember from my chilhood and teenage years. That deep sound when you mat the throttle and those huge secondarys start swallowing all the air....man I want to hear that again so badly. So if anyone knows where any decent units can be had, I'm interested. My older brother is going to look through his collection and stuff and see what he has, but if that doesn't pan out then the hunt will continue.

Flip the air cleaner lid over, instant 50+ h.p when you were a 16 year old kid back in the day.... Lol.

I think I should put it on the dyno here in a bit just so we can compare before and after power/torque numbers. Standby!

 

[John FatFab]

Any guesses? Stock aside from aforementioned edelbrock 1406 carb and straight pipe where cat used to be.

 

[John FatFab]

Well plenty of torque anyway....little lacking on the horsepower lol. The last run, run 5 was with the air cleaner lid removed. Will be interesting to see what difference the thermoquad produces

I will get a video of it making a pull tomorow when my video guys are here so you can all get the full experince lol. Its funny how wound up it sounds crossing 4,000 RPM. I would have guessed it closer to 5,000 rpm based on sound alone
