AVS or Holley - 05/17/19 08:15 PM
74 Challenger, 318 with mild cam (Comp listed as stock 340/360 cam) AVS. This was a salvaged carb from a 71 LP 383 #MO 4966S. 600 cfm(?) I put a kit in it and it seems to run ok, but recently, I was recommended to check the floats as it was having h
warmed up idle issues and WOT loss of power (crapped out like it was fuel starved. I re-dicovered that the floats are not the same. I could only get the float level at the very end on one as it slanted up toward the needle valve seat. Other was level when adjusted to height. Drop level seem similar on both. Still has issues when warmed up but acceleration and WOT better, but not great.
OK, the question. Keep working with the AVS, or get a Holley? Seeing them on Ebag for $50 to $80. then the price of a rebuild kit. Opinions?
Thanks, Scott
