Re: Long rambling thoughts and questions on Edelbrock carbs... (vettfixr)

The Thunder series is actually a copy of the old Carter AVS, just as the Performer is a copy of the Carter AFB.

Re: what kind of (carl a)

A Carter M6900 is about all the pump you should ever need.

Re: Carter AFB? (72GACRZR)

Federal Mogul bought Carter a while ago. At some point Carter also sold the designs to their carbs to Weber who are casting them for both Carter and Edelbrock.

Re: 700R4 hard shift 1/2 (satx79vette)

The 700R4 has a huge drop in ratio from first to second so the 1-2 shift will feel late and hard compared to a TH350.

Re: Horrid cold weather driveability. Carb issues? Tips PLEASE. (Cookwithvette)

Your choke probably doesn't need a resistor, but in any case removing it will probably make the choke open faster.

Re: Is it not OK to remove/disable the PCV hose? (joeveto)
