Finally gave up trying to be cheap getting my 1978 New Yorker's 440 running right. The car came with a Summit Thermoquad reman that I couldnt get right. It was too rich at WOT, boiled gas out after heat soak, never started right in the morning, and I got tired of fuckin' with it. I tried an Edelbrock 1411 on an adapter, and it would boil the gas out and heat soak way worse than the TQ when I'd stop somewhere for a spell. Always had to floor it to start up hot. Started perfect 1 pump when cold though. No more room for a thermal spacer either since I already had an adapter under it. No hoodscoop for me. So...
I bought a CH4B intake on ebay and got a new 1215 valley pan from Amazon with the crossover blocked. I got a nice 1/2" wood carb spacer from Amazon too.
Now it starts perfect with 1 pump of the pedal when cold, and hot restarts just require a turn of the key. Looks way better too. Way better.
Before the change the carb was over 200F and the intake below the carb was about 350F. Now the intake is 144F and the carb about 120F. Just waiting for my calibration kit to get here so I can fine tune it. I need the 8"hg step up springs and leaner jets in the secondary.
