The Edelbrock AVS2 1906 (650 CFM) would do well for you. With its annular boosters you'll get superior throttle response. I too, like you, tried the earlier model without success. If you go with a 1906 I encourage you to also get the tuning kit so you can zero in on just what the engine wants.

Great lookin' ride! Hope you can get some of that torque to the ground!!!

I certainly agree to a point, but when that 650 is howling the airflow velocity is excellent!

Think he would be much happier with a 650 since he will be running in stock trim. I put a 650 onto my warmed over 440 and it ran just great.

I believe the AVS2 is only 500, 650 and 800

For your build, I would recommend an Edelbrock AVS2-650 carb. Super reliable, excellent low speed response and you'll get decent fuel economy. The Performer intake is an excellent choice as well.

Many of the aftermarket aluminum heads, such as the Trickflow 240's I have, do not do that. The holes are "blind" and do not go into the water jacket.

+1 for RealGaskets. Same issue on my 440, but no more!!!

I was told the same thing. I listened to my builder instead of looking at the bottom of the cam card where it said I should use "steel". My fault for not doing my homework. I should have "trusted and verified". Expensive lesson.

I would call TF and ask the question.

Yeah, and what about all that debris from the worn bronze gear getting into your engine? Ask me how I know. The "sacrificial" gear sacrificed my engine.

I used to be an amateur radio operator and had a lot of fun playing with different antenna types. What was important, as you say, was getting the Standing Wave Ratio down for transmitting. Transmitters do not like high SWR's!

Ha ha! We actually learned on the old Kleinschmits in school, then "upgraded" to the KSR's in the field!!! Hey, nothing like 75 baud data rates, right?! Did 5 punch paper tape for awhile as an aux device on our Streamliner system. Even though my security clearance is long gone, I sure would like...

Yes sir. I was in CRITICOMM communications and served with both AF and Navy guys who were not deployed on ship. We always had fun with ribbing the navy guys and they us. What was great was how well we all worked together when the mission was on.

Only the "squids" would have access to such a large transmitter & the frequencies thereof! Regards from your Air Force brother!

I understand where you're coming from, but MVA does more than that. It also provides additional timing when vacuum is high while cruising. Ported VA was something the mfr's did for emissions, not performance. Your engine could certainly be tuned to allow for MVA, and you would likely gain MPG's...

That is not "normal" behavior. As the throttle is advanced, the vacuum the engine produces drops thus the vacuum advance drops off as a result. As the engine RPM's increase, the mechanical advance comes into play which makes up for the loss of vacuum advance timing. Some vacuum advance units can...

Sounds like you worked for the USN

That is a gorgeous looking thermoquad! I'm a little envious!!!

Good to see you back in the saddle! Hope you're feelin' better.

If there was a leak at the wheel cylinders, the MC fluid level would go down. The OP said the fluid level has not changed, so back to the MC being bad.

Generally, the rule of thumb is to initially add 4 quarts of fluid then start the engine and let it idle in neutral with parking brake on. Add fluid until the fluid level comes up to ADD. Move the shifter through the gears to purge air from the various clutches/servos. Be sure the fluid is still...

Timing chain slipped (wonder if the timing gear teeth are tipped like the OE plastic ones were) or dist drive gear is damaged

I have a friend on another forum that bought an ECP for his Challenger. Was supposed to be a direct fit, but was anything but. He was not happy with their (non-existent) customer service too. He bought the setup with the dual electric fans.

Thanks. I know Mancini used to.

Do you use a shroud too? If so, what kind?

The one thing I did like about those vans is once the dog house is off, it is a lot easier to get to the BACK of the engine and the carb! The front, not!

So it cools fine in traffic/low speeds but gets hot at highway speeds? Is there a coil of wire in your lower radiator hose? If not it can collapse at higher RPM's and cause poor water flow.

I have a Vintage Air in my Challenger. Even fully charged it does not get really cold, but cool. The evap is probably 1/2 the size of an original one and the condenser is mounted right up against the radiator. Yes, they fit the car for the most part, but they are also a compromise. I agree 100%...

Yep, you can dial in just about as much caster as you want.
