Who bought-out Carter? I used to use a Carter Thermoquad on my Trans Am back in the 70's. Great carb! I kind of lost track of where they went. Closed-up shop or bought-out or ...???

Inquiring minds want to know....

I have an Olds 455 that is bore and stroked with a cam and intake Eld torker. After setting the timing, this happned. When I let off the gas the engine wants to die. It will idle for a while then either load up or starve for fuel. I have think that I have to reconnect my choke because it seems to do like the old Fords that would let the idle down slowly. I have a vacuum gauge, but have not used it yet. Other than that, it runs great. A little hard to start cold, but what carbed boat isnt.
