edelbrock avs2 650

I'd still appreciate knowing where others have set their jets and rods for similar engines. If you have any knowledge of that, I'd appreciate your sharing. If not, that's OK too.

The last time I had a vacuum gage on it, it had plenty of vacuum at idle and it dropped as I added throttle, like it should.

Have you checked the vacuum advance? Went about 4 pages deep on another thread getting 4mpg on his 350 when he finally checked and replaced his vacuum advance cannister his milage went to 8mpg. Could have done better by picking the proper vacuum advance but the point is check the vacuum advance,and centrifugal advance. Carbureators are so over blamed for ignition problems.

I had hard start issues with the edelbrock 1406 so I swapped it out with a quadrajet and then start up is easy. Straight out the box. Just had to adjust electric choke. This is when I pulled it off the old 305 and put it on the 454 because it had a crappy 1406 on it.
