Bill,
Can you elaborate a little on your experiences as to the Edelbrock carbs? I ask, because I have not been able to eliminate the
stumble my friend's 347. I have tuned it per their book, experimenting to the extremes of the jetting and spring combos. We
dyno tuned it to around 14:1 with good transitions.
I suspect the carb is just not capable of handling really aggressive driving due to the combination of mechanical linkage to the
2ndrys and it having no 2ndry accelerator pump. (it just seems the air door design can not handle it) I posed this question to the
tech rep at Edelbrock and he danced around the question. I have also noticed they now make a version of the AVS carb. Will
they phase out the current offering due to it's limitations? Being in the business, what are you hearing?
Thanks
Steven
