Hi All,

I see several questions asking what Edelbrock carburetor is used to replace the Thermo-quad. I also saw one posting stating that the Edelbrock is no longer being produced. I checked with the local NAPA store and they can still order it. It is Edelbrock's model #1905. It states it is a Thermo-quad replacement and is 795cfm.

Here is the web link to the description on Edelbrock's website:
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/carb_qjet.html
(scroll down to the bottom - it is the last carb. on that web page)

Hope this info helps,

How'd the installation of the new carb go?

Posted By: Scruffy5 on 04/11/05 05:16am

Well I thought maybe this thread passed on!Edelbrock Carbs are super.Anyone interested,Edelbrock #1411 750 cfm ,#1932 spread bore to square and lastly #1481 chry throttle adapter. grand total $333.10 shipped to my door,had it in 4 days,online from Performance Parts Express.Straight forward installation! Of course I took mine apart to check float level etc,but i just wasted my time.they say there preset at the factory and there not lying,Took me longer to change the spark plugs then to do the carb install.Anybody still using the old thermoquad this conversion I highly recommend!

{Edited to remove for sale item}

Have a great day! [emoticon]

Thanks Scruffy.

I found the Edelbrock #1905 to be around $600 new and a rebuilt around $430.
Your $333 looks good.

Have a 24' 1977 Travelcraft, class C. She has a 360 c.i.d. V-8, 51,000 miles and is all mine, paid in full. She is a beast, but I would be hard pressed to get ride of her for something different.
I have been turning wrench on these old Dodges for 15 years. Any questions, give a shout. Happy to assist.
