look at any generic street rod.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

The avs will be fine. The holley will be fine. Which do you feel most comfortable working on? Sounds like the car is mostly stockish so the avs woukd look more "correct" and you likely have the oem fuel line already.
I want my fair share

I agree, nothing wrong with the stock AVS at all. Without a doubt... Leave the 'MP' fer someone else...

If you are not set on 100% stock and have a little $ to spend why not try the Street Demon carb? Youd have a brand new carb and its intended target is high perf street driven vehicles.
Keep old mopars alive.

Its a 69 GTX...440 auto with ac.Mostly original.It had a repaint many years ago and its a nice driver. I have a feeling I cant go wrong with which ever carb I go with! look at the front of the carb and see if the numbers 4640s are stamped on it. i have a '69 r/t 440 auto with it's original 4618s avs. what i've done is change out the leather accelerator pump plunger for newer viton edelbrock. i use the stock .101 tall primary jets with a 16-575 metering rod (.065/.060/.052 three step. these are no longer available but an edelbrock .065/.052 will work). stock .095 jets in the back will work with a stock engine. i've unplugged the mixture screws at the base of the carb and they're backed out 3 1/2 turns. the only "tricky" part is the idle jet. it's the small brass tube that hangs out the bottom of the primary cluster. these are .031" from the factory, too small. i've tried several sizes from .031" to .040". i've settled on .033" which is a tad lean (manual transmission carbs used .035" which is about right). i use a .028" afb squirter i modified to fit the avs (simple to do) and have the pump shot rod in the top hole. this carb starts, drives and performs quit well with the near stock engine (summit 6401 cam; idles smooth, very good low end). keeping the avs lets retain all the stock linkage and choke assembly and you give absolutely nothing up in performance to a comparable holley.

it is a 4640s. I still have the metal tag that mounts on the base of the carb with 4640s stamped on it. Chuck, I'd say rebuild the AVS and start there. If you don't like it, try the Carter. I switched my 1967 2bbl 383 Satellite over to an AVS 8 years ago, never regretted it for a moment. I'm not a performance guru, but like to have some power. Easy to rebuild, easy to drive, no fuss no muss. You've got the tag, so for a kit just call Larry Isgro Carburetors, he is on Long Island unless he retired, but I've been getting my rebuild kits from him since 2001. http://www.yelp.com/biz/larry-isgro-carburetors-wantaghBest, - Art
