I'm looking for a base to use on an Eddy AVS2 with the Road Runner unsilenced top. That's 12.75 - 13.00 across, with a 5 1/8 carb air horn. Stock looks to be about even height, maybe +1/4" (filter higher than air horn), don't need a drop base.
Been beating the heck outta the interweb - Summit Jeg's Manicini Ebay Amazon Proform etc etc. Even tried plastic, 12", nothing. 11" is too small. Only thing I can find is a Proform assembly for Fords at about $70, but all I need is a base. I thought I'd find something - I can't be the1st guy to this party, right?

Nope - Edelbrocks use the 5 1/8 air cleaners like a Holley. Very confused, I only know of two sizes of 4 bbl air horns, 4 7/16 and 5 1/8". In 1968 Chrysler went to AVS and Holley 4 bbls with 5 1/8" air horns. Are you saying the AVS2 has some other size opening? Or that something on the AVS2 fouls the air cleaner base? Robert

Oh, it all may work fine and I might be worrying too much; kinda looks that way. Could well be that Edelbrock's 5.125" dimension is "loose". I really appreciate the info from you guys, thanks. The 5.125" is a standard size, that said, it's generally the center of the mounting surface's dimension, it's not the OD or the ID, the correct gasket for the 5.125" air horn has an ID of 5.030" and an OD of 5.550" and there is usually a hair of gappage yet.
