I have developed a whistling sound in the TQ. What do think would cause this? No, I did not suck a bird into the carb.

I had that happen on a thermoquad, it was sucking air in around the shaft that the choke plate piviots on.

Sounds like a vacume leak. possible re torque mounting bolts to carb. if still whistling should rebuild. is there a rough idle or change in motor performance. i have had vacume hoses split and make it sound like carb is whistling.

If its whistling with the car turned off, call a priest!

If a priest is not needed....
I'd check for vac. leaks around the carb using propane or carb cleaner spray. Don't forget to check/spray the throttle shaft(s)
I have had some later model vehicles (Fords) develop whistling sounds thru the upper plenum for no apparent reason at specific rpms. On those, cleaning the throttle body sometimes helps.

I'll do the hose inspection and re-torquing first. Then if that fails I'll try the old propane torch thing. I also have some green stuff coming out the tailpipes. Looks like pea soup or green vomit.
