You might not be getting enough fuel into the bowl of your TQ. Granted, I've never had my 76 up a hill before.

 

if i were to get a intake manifod and a better carb like the avenger (wich is a 4barrel and mine is a 2) first off would a 4 barrel carb work with my engine since mine is the 2 barrel.

secondly would it get me some more power?

what would be a good set up for carb n intake manifold for offroading

 

A 4 bbl would work wonderfully as I have a factory Carter ThermoQuad. Are you SURE it's a 2 bbl?

And yes, a 4 bbl with an aftermarket intake will make you more power.

 

is there a way to tell. i just googled the vehicle that it was taken out of what it had and it said it was a 2barrel but i wouldnt mind 4 cause i heard there alotmore power lol does anyone know what a good set up would be for carb and intake be? links would help

 

That is the Carter ThermoQuad 4 barrel carb.

 

so i just got job at LORDCO auto parts so i get almost cost price now on parts so im thinking about getting 4bbl off road carb from edelbrock ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-1826 ) and getting a intake manifold ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ed.../make/chrysler ) and im thinking i might as well get some nice valve covers ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dcc-5007614/overview/make/chrysler) and def going to get some performance spark plug wires mine are old and crappy ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ms.../make/chrysler )and get rid of that damn smog air cleaner and get this ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-1223/overview/ ) what yall think about that?

 

hey so i installed my 4bbl and ever since i did that my tranny shifting hard into 3rd kinda klunky any reason why or a way to adjust it?

 

Your kickdown linkage going from the throttle to the transmission is likely out of adjustment. I would try adjusting it so that it doesn't push back as far. Your truck is probably shifting like you are flooring it.

 

^Any advice on adjusting it? lol

Same problem here. lol

You've got the kick down spring, don't you Turner?

 

yea i believe i got one i can take a picture and upload if youd guys like. i also made a noooob mistake i didnt add a cork gasket under the pan gasket so i now have to take it off to put gasket on there cause there is a vapour leak which causing my truck to bogg at full throttle so thats coming off soon here and then finally installing the rest of parts i bought so just (valve covers and high performance spark plug wires) but if i just put a pan gasket on do i have to get a new one or can i still use it?
