From: "Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: IML: Edelbrock Carb change Hi all, I've had VERY good luck on my 64 Dart with a new Edelbrock 650cfm about 10 years ago. I'm considering one for my 67 Imperial 440 to replace the AFB.What CFM would you recommend? And do the electric chokes work well and howdo they work? I'd like the car to run as well as possible so if more or less fuel will help then fine.
I have an Edelbrock AVS-clone with electric choke on my '69. Works great, even though the jets aren't quite right. All it 'needs' is a 650, which is about what the factory unit was. If you want more high-rpm hp, then you might want a bigger carb. If it has the HP cam or something like it, a 780 is what's reccommended around these parts. My understanding is that (for some reason I don't get) the bigger carbs boost your high-end horsepower, but hurt your low-end torque (at least unless you change other stuff too), so you might not want bigger.
