This is absolutely 99% dead on balls accurate the truth.
And this is also where the above line of “Tuning overload “ comes in. The amount of tuning points in a Holley can fry the brain. When your used to dealing with a Holley, there’s no sweat involved. When your new or not so experienced, your brain melts with options.
What do you want to know?
This reminds me of something;
The early AFB carbs were a little different than later years. One model that comes to mind was on a friends ‘67 - 440 in his land yacht. The small neck AFB had no secondary air door at all. It was also a small 600.
When I was a younger man. I had my ups and downs with the AFB. I always considered the Carter/Edelbrock carb a street and high performance carb. Not a race carb. Regular less of what other people have done with them, I found that a smaller carb, no matter the make, works a fair bit better on the street for an actual driver. (As most of know) This I have found very true of the AFB. Since the counter weighted door isn’t so easy to modify for its opening rate & timing. This is where I like the AVS (& the TQ) much better for that tunable secondary air door.
