    Weird issue with AFB

    I picked up a Carter Competition 9635 SA the other day off CL . I went thru the carb and cleaned all the orifices , put it back to stock jetting ( assuming my web research was correct .. 95 primary/98 secondary and 7147 rods) and put it on my 360. Got it to idle fine but when I give it gas it...

    Edelbrock Annular Boosters

    Is it possible to install the annular boosters from the 1906 AVS2 carbs on a 1405 ? And if so where can you get them ? I am having no luck finding a source for replacement parts for Edelbrocks online.

    Carb or ignition ?

    I have been chasing a persistant rich condition and eratic afr reading . Tried Holleys and AVS (both 600 & 800) Various jetting... Experimented with intial timing and curves. Right now I have a new 800 AVS on it. I can get the idle set correctly so it runs around 12.8-13.5 with 15" of vacuum...

    AVS2 tuning

    I just bought a new AVS2 800 for my 360 and I am confused on the tuning . My wideband reads 12.5 @ light cruise so I dropped main jets to .101 from .104s but its still rich. So I figure it may be the step up spring because my vacuum at idle is 13. So I replace the stock spring with a lighter...

    Avs secondary tuning ?

    What is the relationship between air door tension adjustment and cruise AFR ? I understand that when you mash the throttle the secondary butterflies and air door should be set for a seamless transition. But what about a steady cruise ? I am referring to a 60-80 mph cruise speed. If the...

    7.5 psi too much for AVS2 ?

    I have been chasing jetting issues on my 360 with an AVS2 . I cant seem to get it to run lean enough. So I checked the fuel pressure today and got 7.5 psi ... Is that enough to push a little fuel be the jets ? It might explain why no matter what jets or rods I throw at it (to a point) the...

    I have 4 new 4 wire O2 sensors laying around and was wondering if there is a DIY way to wire up a gauge without buying the whole kit ? I am seeing kits for newer FI cars that appear to have functions I dont need.

    bought a mystery 850 double pumper...

    I didnt need this but curiosity got the best of me. And for 100$ what the hell. First the shaved airhorn caught my eye.... Then the large boosters.... Then the drilled (and filled) throttle plates.... Guy said it was on a Indy headed dart he bought from a Pro-Mod racer (not the dart ) out of...

    This is cool! never new it... W2 police

    I have actually only seen one engine. Saw it several years ago in Alabama (greazy, obviously out of a car, thermoquad carb, dual snorkel air filter, stock type exhaust manifolds, hydraulic cam, non bushed adjustable rockers, short valves). The guy told me it came out of a Texas Highway Patrol...
