I am in the process of rebuilding my 4615 AVS Carter for my '69, 383 4 speed roadrunner. In addition to the choke pull off, this carb also has a dashpot. It looks to be for purposes of dampening the throttle return upon de-celeration. I have seen and worked on a number of AVS's from 68-70 but have not seen one that uses a dashpot. Is this correct for my application?

yes 4-speed have them, BTW you also need the long leaver on the carb throttle shaft for it to work. To set up the dashpot adjust the idle adjust screw till your rpm is at 2K, then bring down the dashpot till it just touches the arm, then lock it down, bring idle back to normal & enjoy.

Mine works well and will need a bit of TLC before it looks good enought to install however the rubber boot on mine is shot. Any ideas on how to fix that?

I have a dash pot I bought that was NORS and used it for a short time untill I found a NOS unit. It's for sale if you need one, PM me if interested.
