Edelbrock Performer or AVS carbs for 318 dual quad?

gzig5 said

I was running a 650 AVS2 on my 340 before I tore the engine down. In the meantime, I picked up an Edelbrock TR5 dual quad tunnel ram and I think I might just pick up a second 650 AVS2 when I give the TR intake a try, once the car is back on the road. Cheapest way to get it up and running. Should be an interesting tuning experience.

My 2 cents:

Run the carb linkage 1:1 - that makes tuning DEAD simple. I think people that have tuning problems with dual quads are mostly related to trying to use progressive linkages.

Also - with a tall tunnel ram, don't be afraid to advance your timing more than you think you should! The engine will like it.
An o2 sensor and AFR gauge is almost like cheating when getting these things set up........but still check your plugs.

Happy motoring!
