Anyone here have any experience with the new Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor. I need a new one and want the make the best choice for my 273 Commando build.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. Will they work with a drop base air cleaner?Yep have used two of them and they were great right of the box. Just adjusted idle speed and mixture. Nice street carb. You'll want the 650 for a 273. You will need a few linkage adapters to make it work though. No big deal really.
RRR, I agree and I wish the 500 wasn't $50.00 more than the 650. You might want to take another look at our conversation to see the latest. I think you will find it interesting.
That's even better. I didn't get that far on the Summit site to see that model. The 390 that you have will work but it really wasn't designed for that application. Slant 6 or dual quad tunnel ram yes. A 500 would be perfect and I think the 650 with the efficiencies of the AVS2 would work well also. They are designed for a street (not race) carb with efficiency in mind. Just my take. Anybody close to Desert Rat that has a 1406 he could bolt on and try? I have one but the condition is unknown. Shipping it to you to try would cost $50-$75 for a round trip.You guy's are correct. I didn't know that they had released the 500cfm in the AVS2. I might have gone that route but at the time the 650 was the smallest one that was out. It worked good though.
Although you won't need it, I wish you luck. Please keep us posted on this thread when you get it installed. Bolt it down, hook it up, squirt some gas down the bowl vents and fire that baby up!Well I couldn't stand the pressure and just ordered the 500 cfm AVS2 with the insulating base and banjo fuel inlet. The Holley carburetor on the car was never going to be correct for my car and I bit the bullet and bought the Eddy. Looking forward to getting the car correctly tuned and running. Thanks to all who helped with my dilemma.
If it works well I might have to sell off mine and get myself one.Well I couldn't stand the pressure and just ordered the 500 cfm AVS2 with the insulating base and banjo fuel inlet.

I should know by next weekend and you will know the results The slanty folks will have a shot at my 390 and the complete tuning kit I acquired for it over time.If it works well I might have to sell off mine and get myself one.
For this?I will be going with a pair of 1904's once I get my 360 assembled. Don't really need a choke in the SF-bay area.
Edelbrock 1904 AVS2 Series Dual-Quad Carb, 500 CFM, Manual Choke
I went through the same thing on that Edelbrock 2X4 since it is also for the earlier engines.I have the 5488 model intake, so I had to get some spherical washers and clean up around the bolt holes so it will fit on a non 64-65 LA blocks. It's going on my 360.
Nice!The first one. My manifold is the Offy 360 for small block. Gimmie a sec and I'll throw some pics up.

Nice!
Out of curriosity,is there enough metal in those runners to port them out to 340/360portsize?
Thats sad, they looks so oldschool cool!Nowhere near enough. I will have to build up the outsides before hogging them out to 340/360 runner size. I'll look for the thread where I posted up some pics with a 340/360 gasket laid on the flange after I get home tonight.

But it would be intresting to see the pic of it!
