afb and avs parts

["Roy Braatz" <braatz@xxxxxxx>]

Micky= this is ROy as you stated about long and short metering rods, that applies to different Carter Carbs for different year Cars! Either years  is not what I was discussing, I know what your saying but I'm talking about the thinness of those rods that would increase or decrease the JET HOLE size! There was a time when you could buy a metering KIT having various sizes .That is what I would like to find ,But as I stated I buy the worst looking Carbs at swap meets ( those are cheep) just to collect metering rods for my stock. Thank you for your in=put.

Hi all...

Someone - was it Roy? - wanted to know part numbers for afb and avs rods,
was that right , or was it for the strip kits. I dont have them right here,
but the afb strip kits are still around, edelbrock sells them for the 600
and 750 series carbs they sell, and I have seen them from time to time in
some of the various Mopar magazines.

FWIW...there are basically 2 styles of afb and avs rods out there....2 and 3
step. Basically you can swap them, but you have to swap the little metal
lid that goes on top of the metering rod piston if you do. What that means,
is that they are different length. The 3 step is longer - thats why it has
3 steps - and the little cover over the piston is like a little hat. The 2
step is shorter , and the cover for the piston on it is flat. Obviously you
can see the mechanical problem with installing a long rod with the flat
cover....it will be forced down when it shouldnt be. The main thing is just
keep apples to apples and its no big deal.

There is an excellent book about these carbs, its just a big paperback
called " Carter Carburetors......" how to or whatever it is, I dont recall.
I have had one for years, it goes into a lot more on them than youll
probably ever need, but its a neat book and its not expensive. It goes
into the subject of the rods and jets much better than this post could, if
youre really want to dig deeper thats one way I would suggest.

thanks
