Re: IML: Edelbrock Carb change

[hot rod <michiganhotrod1@xxxxxxxxx>]

I put the 600 CFM Edelbrock AFB on my 65 300 383, and am not impressed. It appears set up for a leaner engine (probably SB Chevy) so it surges. I will need to buy richer metering rods, hope I get the right one. Also, your stock air cleaner plate will no longer fit, so be prepared to get a 70's hi po application to replace it (the Edelbrock air horn is much larger).
Save your money in my opinion, get a quality rebuild of your AFB unless it is completely worn out.
