Re: IML: Tune Up Edelbrock v. AFB

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

IIRC, the Edelbrock carb is styled after the AFB.  The main problem I've 
heard with them other than basic adjustment is that they are given "general" 
jets (metering rods) that may be significantly off for your application.  
This is because they spec the same carb for a Chebby 350 as your 440.  When 
I bought my '83, I was told it had an Edelbrock carb, but it was a new 
Carter "Competition" AFB

Any chance of putting the Carter AFB back on? I never found any problems with them on any of my previous or current Mopars. Just a thought................alex

IML...My LeBaron idles way to fast. Im not too good with carburators though I know where the accelerator pump is, the mixture screws, and the idle screw is. but theres a couple other adjustments im not sure about. I have an edelbrock performer RPM 4 barrell on a 1963 Le Baron. The car will take off down the street without me even pushing on the gas pedal.
