Find someone that runs NSS in a Mopar. They’ll know their way around an AFB. There’s a few guys that frequent this board that Check that box. Doug (DVW) comes to mind.

Dean Oliver in Stutgard,AR did the one on my Stocker Cuda. He is really good.

All OE AVS's are lean from the discombobulated emission requirements of that era (68-71) when Ma & the rest of em were trying to keep up with the strict federally mandated emission stds. convert the tall pri jets/3 step rods to eddy performer short pri jets/2 step rods. a few thou richer on cruise/power might be a good start. AVS strip kits are as rare as can be. EDIT An AFB is a far better carb to work with (if you have a choice).

I like Rapid Robert's tip & it may be the solution to my bro's 517 Hemi's lean backfire problem. He's got 2 650 Eddy Thunders (AVS) & after a few yrs, its developed a carb backfire on WOT from crusing speed. Their accelerator pump linkage is already on the top hole & springs, jets & rods were replaced on install. SO maybe, if we can find a qualified tech in Vegas (no old school gurus here), maybe this is the fix. May send them off to Competition Carbs (Oliver), to have this done. Thanks again.

Triggerfish, the messed up calibrations were in the OE (68-71) AVS's only. the later AVS thunders would not have that issue. now you can get the OE AVS's to run like a scalded dog if you put some work into em but for the nth degree of performance there are much better carb choices. but on the early AVS's, He may already have em/they may be required for class rules/he might not want to buy new carbs.

Thanks Robert & not trying to hijack the op's thread, but maybe the carbs just have some dirt in some of the circuits. OR, maybe its the huge content of ethanol & other crap in the winter blend Vegas pump 91. Think we'll try 5 gal of race gas & see if it cures the issues. As for the op's question, I spoke to Oliver (Competition Carbs) on the phone a few yrs back & he was super helpful.

We're here to help & be helped by as many people as possible. I look at it as the random acts of kindness movement that is catching on to some extent (& sorely needed). It makes me feel grateful that non ethanol has always been available here (& we're the #3 corn producing state in the country). I remember way back in the early 80's that people were complaining that their engines were dying at stoplights & I told em to use non ethanol & problem was solved. Post what it ends up being

Did those carbs always do that? Sounds like no. What changed?

But it didn't backfire today when he drove it. He's got 2 elec fuel pump systems he can select. One's an Aermotive in tank system & the other a Holley Gerotor pump. 1/2" feed & return lines. No chokes on the carbs.
