I don't know why that does that. Maybe he used "quote" instead of "reply".

It's a question of Performer/AFB vs Thunder/AVS, Performer is hit or miss, & I've been involved with a few for customers that were either never right or a major PITA to get
right.....one guy tried one too many stabs at it & took a hammer too it,LOL!!! The Thunder seems to be more hit than miss by far, and no flopping counterweights vs the
adjustable spring tension....................that being said, the 462 camel-back Chebby heads I did got a Eddy street TR w/a pair of 500 dual Performers, and worked great
(even tho the accel pumps started letting fuel shoot up thru the covers and onto the windshield!....where's that water comin' from...is it raining?... what the?....)

At least on my 800 Thunder, it is set up for dual feed.

Just another Mopar Maniac
I've got one on my 340, and yes it is a great carb, but soon I'll be going fuel injection and the AVS will replace the AFB on the wifey's 400.

Mr. Dartish, I just got an AVS2 650, and I'am going to put it on my 413. Question, what did you do with the adapter plate? I'am putting mine on a performer RPM intake too. I got a used one, so I don't know if it came with the adapter or not.

Got mine at the suggestion of RRR couldnt be happier
I had the same experience with holley based carbs- had to adjust somewhere between every third day or every time I the drove the car.
I now have several Carter/Edelbrocks and they all ran either as I bought them, including most from swap meets, or after a good cleaning and one idle adjust.

Are you talking about the throttle linkage adapter? As far as an adalada plate under the carb, I didn't use one. Just used the Edelbrock baseplate gasket/heat insulator

Yeah, that's what I thought. The adapter plate between the intake and carb, was for his vehicle only. So I just need the gasket. Thanks,

I just put the Thunder AVS-2 650 on my 68 340 GTS. I'm running the 4 hole spacer on a Performer RPM intake. I can't believe how much smoother the car runs. I took it out of the box put it on set the idle then the fuel air screws then the choke. This carb works perfect. I can actually work in the garage with the car running and not have it burn my eyes. The 650 replaced a eddy 750 that I could never lean it out far enough to get it to run right, always had a very rough idle and very rich when idling. To much snow on the ground yet to take it out on the road to see how she will run.
