Need a '69 or newer AVS for my mutt Crown Convertible - Rebuild of a '68 Carter AVS for a Chrysler 440 engine

["Wm. R. Ulman" <twolaneblacktop@xxxxxxxxx>]

Because the '68 can't be adjusted properly, and the '69 or newer has
adjustment screws, as apposed to just one dinky one.

Bill, resurfacing IS turning the drum [or rotor].

Why '68 or newer?  Why not '67 or even '66?

| Please read the below messages, and if anyone has good
advise for me, or
| a '69> AVS, please let me know.
|
| I am also in need for some good drums that still have
enough material on
| them to be better than what I have now.  My brakes work
ok, but I know
| they could be better, I have rebuilt, or replaced all the
brake parts,
| booster, cylinders, pads, everything but the drums.  My
old mechanic
| said I should never turn them again, and to try to get
better ones.  The
| brake peddle goes about 1/2 way down before any noticeable
braking can
| be felt.  Can mine be resurfaced?

| Hello,
|
| Thanks for getting back to me, Here is the scoop.  I have
a '66
| Imperial Crown Conv with the 440 (It now appears to be a
'74 engine with
| '67 manifold, '68 Carter AVS)  the engine was rebuilt
years ago with a
| higher lift cam, fairly mild.  The car runs rich now as my
mechanic has
| rebuilt the carb, tuned it up, replaced the distributor,
wires and such,
| but it just won't run quite right.  I'm pretty picky about
this stuff,
| since I'v spent the money to have it run well, and it just
doesn't.
| Anyway, he can't adjust the carb right due to the plugs in
the front.
|
| Do you have a '69, or newer rebuilt AVS for sale?  If so,
would
| you take the '68 AVS that is currently on my motor in
trade as partial
| payment?  Please let me know what my best plan of action
should be.
|
| Thank you for your time, and assistance.

| Bill!!  The original factory 1968 AVS came from the
factory with the
| mixture screws preset and then plugged.  The 68 version
has (1) left
| hand air bleed screw at the top of the carburetor.  This
is the only
| adjustment possible on this carburetor.  If you have
changed the engine
| specs (camshaft, compressions, etc.) you would be wise to
find a 69 or
| later AVS that has both lower screws adjustable, to get a
wider range of
| settings. Modifications to the original 68 version is not
advisable, and
| does not work well.  We do have a very limited selection
of metering
| rods to change jetting on the AVS carbs. Factory authentic
restorations
| on the AVS carbs runs $295 + parts necessary (if any) +
return shipping
| (approx $15). Backlog in our plant is currently running 6
weeks.  Have
| attached a couple of pics showing typical work on your
model of
| carburetor.  If you have further questions, please contact
us at your
| convenience. THANK YOU!! RON DAYTONA PARTS COMPANY 1191
