I posted something like this yesterday, not sure why it didn't take?

There were changes to the Q-Jet during its run that may make it act wacky.

An 81 TA also had the first year of the CCC system. Not sure if that plays into it too much but it may explain dash lights.

I think a '73 Q-Jet will need the intake-based choke system.
