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.

Problem
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
