Thread: AFB don't like turning corners???sbc 350

Tweet

Is this an old AFB, or an Edelbrock? Either way, probably a bit much carburetor for a mild 350..but the carb is tuneable and you should be able to get the blubber out of the transition. Check the Edelbrock web site, they have an excellent tune-up and diagnostics for the carb. Much easier to see what needs to be done on their chart then try to explain it!!!

Thanks Dave.
It's Edelbrock and I see no def in anything but name,but these AFB's are carbs I've messed with before,so was asking. I'll look up the Edelbrock site and try to understand it.
You know just when ya think your good at tuning 94 and 97's and 4bbl Holleys,along comes this to put me in my place.
I've run bigger carb CFM on a 312 Y 2x4 off a Cady El and had it work just fine.
Tryed all 3 setings of excellerpump holes ect.

After reading there tuning papers,both El and carter,looks like it's too rich by what it said is why hessation. And float level still makes no scents[on my #2 set on neddils and seats too,checked fuel psi with 3 def psi fuel gages[got my buddys 2 as well] and the one in dash,all read 5lb to 5.5 lb.
I'd put a lower cfm size on if i had it,but used up way too much $ and time on two rebuild kits on this carb,I'm not liking AFB's
