Edelbrock 1906 AVS2 Carburetor 650 CFM With Electric Choke, Satin Finish

Bought a 1906 to replace a 1406. Easy tuning. On an AMC 360. Much more responsive, car ran cooler, starts were less cranking and easier. Hot starts were much better. Drove 850 miles in 3 days with temperatures in 90s. Car ran better than it ever did with the 1406. Nothing else was changed just went from a 1406 to the 1906.

Fit perfectly on my 73 corvette stock manifold. No adapter needed. Would buy again. Only problem was delivery because of UPS. They tried to deliver it once. Took two other times to finally go to the up’s store and get it.

Very good part

I love this carb. I replace the FiTech EFI and went back to old school power making. Once this new Venturi technology was dialed in my FE 390 ran cooler and smooth.It worth taking the time with metering rod and spring swaps to dial in the fuel mix.

I bought this carb to replace a Holley. I've always had Holleys on the 351M in my truck, but decided to try the Edelbrock because of the fuel delivery method on the AVS2. I could not be more pleased with the improvement. The Edelbrock responds immediately to the gas pedal. It does not stumble at all and accelerates smoothly and strong. The overall performance has improved dramatically since installing this carb.The engine is also running much more smoothly and even the exhaust tone is better than with the Holleys. To be fair, my guess is that I was just never able to get the Holleys tuned just right so this is not being critical of Holley carbs. I just lack that skill set to tune those carbs and the Edelbrock seems to be good out of the box. I only had to make slight adjustments to the idle speed screws.Another plus for me is that the Edelbrock is wider but not as deep as the Holleys. I have an electronic distributor that is larger than the OE distributor and with the Holleys it has always been really tight between the carb and the distributor. With the Edelbrock, I have at least an inch or so between them. It makes adjusting timing easier. I also added the Edelbrock 9265 heat insulator gasket which lifts the carb maybe a 1/4 inch which also helps with clearance.I gave it a 3 for installation ease because on the Fords it requires another kit (1483) for the C6 automatic transmission kick down bar to attach to the carb. It took some adjusting and getting a longer adjustment screw for this, but with some tinkering it works perfectly. Nothing really hard about the install, but it does require some fiddling to make everything work smoothly on the Ford.I'm extremely pleased with this purchase.

Installed as instructed, engine would run for up to 10 seconds then ran out of gas, Edelbrock asked me to remove the top of float bowl and check float level, found one float with dents in the top, but floats set correctly, also found marks down throat of barrel where someone had worked on the Carb. also indication of discoloring on bottom where a previous gasket had been installed.I believe this was a USED previous installed Carb. that had and still has a problem. Very bad experience from Edelbrock and or Amazon.

Favorite street carburetor never had any issues out of it after three years

wasn't the CFMM size I needed to work properly
