Y07_A66, this is a very interesting and comprehensive thread, I love it!
Now.... did anyone ever do all this on a Carter/Edelbrock carb?
I have a 493 stroker in my Challenger, stock intake, AVS Thunder 800 carb, quite big headers, 3:23 gears and automatic trans.
Idle vacuum is at 14" Hg in N. Cruising is at 20" starting at 35mph until I stopped logging at 70 mph.
I know that adjustment possibilities are not as vast as on the Holleys and derivates. After reading all this I am a bit concerned about the adjustments of the transfer circuit (or the lack of) which is needed up to 50mph on my car. My idle is at about Lambda 1.0 (AFR 14.7) and doesn't seem to change regardless of tuning the Idle mixture screws. Cruise up to 50mph is at about the same AFR, slightly richer, which is ok for me.
Any hints or links for a thread on a AVS carb, especially tuning the transfer and idle circuits?
Sorry for highjacking, though...
Thanks
Jens
