Carburetor Problem



I would stay away from the 1407/1411.  750cfm is too much carb for our engines. I bought one for my Imperial and was very unsatisfied with it.  Top end was great, but low end performance was horrid.  I ended up having a correct carb rebuilt for the car and selling the Edelbrock on ebay.

The Edelbrock site offered up the following options for the retrofit carburetor:

1407 Performer Series; Carburetor; 750cfm; Square-Flange; Manual Choke; w/o EGR; "Universal Fit"
1411 Performer Series; Carburetor; 750cfm; Square-Flange; Electric Choke; w/o EGR; "Universal Fit"

As I haven't seen any wires attached to the Holly, I'm guessing that the manual choke option is what I'm looking for.

Also offered were these items which I don't think I need but possibly may:

Carburetor Stud
Carburetor Throttle Kicker
Carburetor Throttle Lever Extension
Kickdown Linkage

Does this sound correct?

EdH
'68 Crown Coupe

You can't get an AVS new. Rather than deal with another old-used-rebuilt carb, I would suggest you go for a new Carter AFB or Edelbrock carb. The Edelbrock is based on the AFB. You can get a 750 or 625 cfm. I don't know which Imperials came with stock. I know that hp 440s came with 750 avs. Either should bolt right on, but you may need the linkage kit. Check out Summit or Jegs.
Good luck
