    You know, after working on a lot of imports with EFI, this concept of simply changing the thickness of a rod to adjust the fuel mixture sounds pretty nice. These old school guys might be onto something.

    • @johnterpack3940

      Honestly, EFI is massively overrated. Carbs are basically "fire and forget". Never have to worry about a corroded connection or faulty sensor triggering "limp home" mode. It was nothing back in the day to drive a car 10-20 years without having to do anything to the fuel system other than, maybe, replacing a $15 pump that was bolted right to the side of the engine. As soon as my car is too old for emissions testing I'll be ripping out the entire engine and dropping in a carb'd "antique".

    The best day of my life was when I got my first edelbrock 600cfm carb on a sbc I had years ago! I honestly thought every carb had to be constantly fucked with and adjusted like a holley until I got it! everything I owned before that was quadrapukes or holleys. What I don't like about edelbrock is that they will straight up tell you that they will not make certain parts because holley has them available and they work well enough that there isn't a need for edelbrock to improve it yet. Like replacement efi systems for certain trucks.

      Not sure why you kept having to keep fuck with and adjust your Holley carburetors constantly, I haven't had them go out of adjustment and I've ran several over the years. No leaks, either. A fuel pressure regulator set to 4-5 PSI eliminates about 99% of carburetor going out of adjustment issues.

    Edelbrocks/Carter AFBs are fantastic carbs for a set-it-and-forget-it driver or mild street driven performance engine. I'm sticking with a 4 circuit annular booster Quick Fuel for my race car, though. I ran an Eddy 750 on the 460 in my old F-250 for over a decade, and it was a 1 second crank and fire almost every day. The only reason it was replaced was because Edelbrocks suck terribly for offroad, and they'll flood like crazy when you get off camber. 5 minutes of eye stinging fuel cloud when hill climbing was enough for me to get a Moates Ostrich emulator and the TBI setup off of a late 80s 454. After some modification, it was up and running, and I ran that for another 10 years with far more effort put into it than the Edelbrock ever got, but offroading was so much better. (A Sniper or Atomic EFI TBI would have been easier by far, but they didn't exist yet)
    I'm a fan of EFI, but not every car or truck needs it. I see guys swap to EFI only to drive a classic 500 miles per year, tops. It's your money. You'll never wear that engine out any time soon, or lose any real power, by running a carburetor.

    That covers it. Nothing simpler than a Carter AFB or AVS. Nothing easier to tune. Run fine out of the box, but the "Strip Kit" of jets and metering rods you can do even better. You can do a lot with this carb without removing the base section from the manifold.
