and why quadjet?



Done a google and now know what a truck avenger is,
A couple of people I've spoken to have gone to the quadrajets and found them much better than the holleys. I havent run into any probs with the holley flooding yet but the conversion was only done 2-3 months ago

I had the holley rekitted, the engine was in an old 40 series when I brought it and I drove it back from Whakatane to Wgtn with with blocked idle jets and a flat battery. The guy that certified my conversion reckoned the best thing to do with a crook holley is to throw it away and buy a new holley...

It leaks gas when it sits and I'm only getting around 12mpg out of it so I think its got to be up for replacement

dunno if a truck avenger could meet the budget though?

Hi there guys n gals. Just a wee something I found out with these snorkles.
I have one of the ones from Delta on my Terrano, and had to remove it when I went in for a windscreen replacement. This was a real hassle esp as the truck is still under warrantee and all work has to be done by recognised pros.

Well just something to bear in mind for future reference.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.
