Yea I know, but would cost as much as I have in the Colt just to buy the engine! There was a Weslake engine just a few years ago, went for like 3 or 4 thousand if I remember correctly.

American Museum of Speed, Lincoln NE.

I am gonna shelf this thing until I get other stuff done Like what? A couple of things come to mind!

Ah, linkage. Good thing you have a VT engineering degree!

Good to hear somebody tuning a Carter. I had tried an AVS on the Colt, but wasn't having much luck. Where it you find or purchase your numbered drill set?

That is what is in it now. 16-176, and .089 jets. I think the idle transfer slots need some attention.

Found this today in the 1967 Dodge FSM. Called 2 step pistons with 3 step rod. Domed covers. AFB carb.

You don't believe the factory service manual pictures I posted? I don't have any original 1970 carbs and never had to look at. But both Hemi and Wedges show a new changed design in the 1970 FSM. I am trying to tune an AVS on a drag motor with a big cam.

340, 383, 440.

It was a joke.

I found an error! The 16-217 is listed twice with different numbers. I wonder who at CARTER I should contact to get them to fix it!?!?!?!

Yes, that is the point I was trying to make! 2 step rods on both the Hemi AFB's and the AVS on the wedges. 1970 Plymouth FSM. So we can't say that the 3 step is used in all the applications. All my rods are the same length. 4 have bends at the top, 2 are gentle bends.

That will be a lot of help! I pulled this from the 1970 Plymouth FSM. Both AVS and AFB use a new 2 step metering rods! I posted the AFB section because the paragraph was easy to copy, but both are the same.

So far I have located 5 different 3 step rods. 16-160 16-161 16-165 16-176 16-216 I have been using my micrometer, but I am sure I have some scatter in my measurements. I read that Carter held them to .0002 during manufacture. I am still looking for a chart with the rod info if anyone has something.

Yea, but I can use them on the secondary and the springs also.

Thanks Kim!

The 2 step rods are what are being sold today. I was looking for a chart and a source for 3 step rods. I have maybe 3 sets of 3 steps. I really need to buy some small drill bits to measure some of the jets I have. The numbers on some can not be read. Looks like the spring set can be purchased...

Thanks, I don't want to even look at TQ stuff, too confusing at this point! Why do GM and the new Edelbrock Metering Rods have 2 steps vs. the Mopar 3 steps? And today, getting some jets out of parts carbs I have even more Part Numbers. I took jets out of a couple of carbs with 120-194 part...

I am getting educated on the AVS. Some Edelbrock parts seem to be usable. Springs and main jets for sure. However my AVS, 68 340, 4425S, has tall secondary jets. And it has 3 stage metering rods. Anyone have any detail part numbers info on the Carter AVS. And does anyone have any AVS jets or...

Hey, that helps a lot. Going to run it on another application. Thanks.

I have one I am looking at using and I notice it only has 1 idle circuit screw. There are 2 small holes below a couple of capped passages that don't look used. Just wondering if it's stock or am I missing some parts. Thanks for any info.

Yes that is the way they ship them now. I had brake lines and fuel lines come the same way.

Dave Koffel ran them years ago.

There is the mat above the tank and the floor, but I used a teflon tape the same width as my straps between the strap and the tank. It's not the white pipe tape, but a fiber type, very strong and wear resistant. It is a product used on helicopters between removable panels to keep wear down as...

Only after too many beans for dinner...

Lots of gas and air to run through a 1 barrel hole if that is what was done. A 2 barrel intake would be better, but still a lot. Coolest one I ever saw was an Offy 2 X 1 barrel system with a six pack air cleaner setup. To me that was cool and creative.

yea, it's a process. I bought a cheap ebay kit for my carb from ebay, had everything I needed. I am running a 4119S. Just cleaned it good and bought an pump for todays gas, ebay also. All good so far.

Are you just asking about the carb or the whole car? Oil, trans, gas tank, etc? 30 years is a long time.

Here you go:

Yea but does the carb cutout look the same?
