I'm in the processes of installing a cleveland 302 from an XD into a 66 XR Falcon.
The 302 is running a Carter thermo quad with all the emissions gear, automatic choke etc.
Does anyone know if I ditch all of the emissions gear can I still run the thermo quad.
I'm in Victoria and thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is there any issues with

Yeah I think that's the thing he blocked. I'm not sure what you have to go through in Vic. Worst comes to worst, have the pollution crap there when you register it.
You can either have it hanging there as decorative non functioning or you can just rip

The autochoke works by transfering heat from the exhaust to a heat sensitive switch which turns on, then an eletrically operated switch slowly opens the secondries.

After fiddling with it little over the weekend I was half thinking about setting up an old school manual choke, but i might try Dmax's suggestion first!

The auto coke setup works really well on the thermoquads, so I would stick with it myself. 648hp Tunnel Rammed 351, It does not get any better |
