I'm using a "modified" 1407 edelbrock on a 440. got tired of the factory avs's dirty burn and thought i'd try something different. used all the factory choke stuff and slipped in a primary shaft with a mopar throttle arm. works pretty good. burns much cleaner, drives nice but I think the factory avs makes a little more power. my next step is to see if I can find an edelbrock avs top for the 1407 to make secondary tuning a little easier.
Interesting. Would be curious to hear how you make out!
the 1407 works pretty good. been playing with it for awhile. it's a $40 swap meet carb I found, cleaned up, and swapped the parts out and it's on a stock intake. i'll see if I can get some pics. as for your stock avs they're very easy to rebuild; if you can find the right kit.
