I have the same 500 cfm Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor with manual choke. I don't even use the choke, those annular boosters lay down a fine spray of fuel. Fastest starting carbureted engine I ever had. My gas mileage and power increased. And my quadrajet was fine tuned well on my 79 camaro. Car is more enjoyable. Great product
Typically stock Chevy 350s like only a 650 CFM carburetor I have an Edelbrock 750 CFM 1411 on my 350 (not bored over) it has a lopey 520 lift cam (kinda on radical side) aftermarket cast iron vortec heads that have been ported/polished and a dual plane intake. With my engine combo. The spark plugs look great I have daily drived the vehicle for a few months whenever I pull the spark plugs they look clean with a light amount of soot around the ring at the end of threads. I have also ran the vehicle Full Throttle and pulled the spark plugs and they look the same as before. When I stop on the gas the engine does not bog and it idles fine. If your engine can idle and doesn't bog when you stomp on the gas and the spark plugs look fine in various scenarios I would say your carburetor is not too big.
Not sure if you can help. I have the same motor and need the part number for the Hydro-Boost brake Booster. Im a little lost and my booster leaks. Thank you. Also would like to know what black paint you used for the motor.
You don't have to re jet a q jet and they work on any size engine they only made two sizes a 750 and an 800 they only feed the engine what it needs that's the beauty of them and they came on almost every gm for a very long time from six cylinder engines to big blocks w little changes only. To the idle circuits
You made the right choice. I like edelbrocks and holleys. as for the qaudrajet I used to have one on my first car. It started flooding and I was going to rebuild it. I opened it up turned it over and like 20 balls fell out. So I got a used edelbrock and built it instead. and later I got in to holleys. Holley carbs are better, but I still like edelbrocks though.
If you’re not looking for every last horsepower than the Edelbrock is plug and play. The Holley’s take a little bit more fiddling but you will get every last hp. Take care
Happy to help, Those Edelbrock carburetor’s are pretty much plug and play. Probably the most technical part is dialing in the electric choke and having the proper linkage for throttle and kick down.
got a few questions what fittings did you use to get the stock fuel line to work? and what throttle cable bracket did you get to work with the square bore carb?
I just used A barbed fitting in the carburetor, cut the fitting off of the line coming up from the fuel pump. 2 feet of 3/8 or 5/16 rubber line, In-line plastic filter, barbed carburetor inlet fitting, four hose clamps. You might have to get a banjo fitting for the carburetor. For clearance of your air cleaner base.
Were you able to mount stock air cleaner on the new carb..I heard you can install spacer to raise stock air cleaner housing to clear fuel line and linkages..I have a 82 chevy c30 350/turbo 400 trans..
The fuel line comes straight out of the carb and won’t clear the base. I put a banjo fitting on and didn’t even think about a spacer. Spacer is easiest, linkage is no problem. Good luck
Runs great, I put the 600 on my 460 ford and 650 on a 428 (both basically stock)The smaller cfm runs better for everything except full throttle. Good luck👍 600 would probably be just fine as well.
Cfm calculator says 520 for a stock 350 and 670 for racing carb👍 thanks make sure you get the appropriate kick down bracket. Previous owner took mine off
I have a question for you I have a quarter jet carburetor in my V8 swap in my 1992 S10 pickup truck with a 355 V8 and turbo 350 transmission behind it from a 1985 C10 pickup and I was going home it started sputtering and when I gave it gas it would die on the road I had to feather the gas pedal all the way home does this sound like a bad carburetor to you this is the first carburetion vehicle I've ever owned everything else I got is fuel injection so I am new to this any advice you can give me I would really appreciate it thank you
So many different things could be happening but.... you might have a little piece of trash in your carburetor plugging up a jet or orifice. Or fuel pump is going bad. Make sure the fuel tank vent is free and clear.

Hello, I got a 750 cfm carburator on my 350 but it has a big cam and the problem is that my spark plugs turn back every te I replace them. Do you thing that I should witch for a 650cfm carburetor
I have a 650 on a 428 ford and a 600 on a 460. The 428 has a small cam and the 460 is bone stock. Wide open throttle the 750 would be better but every other rpm it’s too much. 600/650 should be perfect and you won’t have to mess with jets or metering rods. You can lean the 750 out but it may take some time getting it dialed in.

Then the video you didn't explain how you connected to choke cable, right now I'm in the same situation, so how did you connect a choke cable how did how did you get it to connect on the carburetor linkage??
Did you take out all of the emission system including the EGR and catalytic converter?

I have the 650 on a 428 Ford fe, basically stock. It runs good out of the box. The 600 should be good for your 350. 650 would be better if you were drag racing, high rpm.

@@zmurray9499 Thats what Ive heard as well. They sound cool but Ive never heard one haha. Im still using a 2150 motorcraft. Does the job. Id put a 4 barrel on my engine but it only have a 2 barrel intake and 4 barrel intakes are a lot!
You guys are wrong the q jets called junk by people because they don't know.how to work on them they take a little bit more to get right but when they are they cannot be beat by any square bore carb for street use for racing holleys it but put the same motor on a Dyno with a Holley and a q jet you'll get the same results look up.richard holdners stuff with a caddilac motor and he did it within 2 hp.or something and said with just a little more tweaking it would have done it
@@glennmanchester1568 First off, Ive got a Ford. Second, you shouldnt have to KNOW how to tune a specific type/kind of carb for it to work. A carb is a carb. Dont change something to change it. Even if it "helps" in MPH or HP. If something goes wrong with it. The average person wont know WTF they are looking at or doing. Dont change/"fix" something if it aint broke. The Q Jets was a attempt at reinventing the wheel.
They were all manufactured about the same time Rochester has been making them since way back in the day the one that tried to reinvent the wheel was thermoquad to alleviate the one shortcoming on the q jet design of the internal fuel bowl causing heat soak and often times a lean run situation after extended wot use the bowl was too small anyway we all enjoy the same thing grease in our bloodstream so let's agree to disagree ..
And you’re on here because you looked up Edelbrock AVS2 carb? Lol..I actually already put this carburetor on my K5 Blazer with a rebuilt motor. Its a good carburetor actually.
No the q jet when in good shape will get better milage and work better and last longer and a lot of other things edelbrocks are garbage as well as holleys Edelbrock is a carter afb bought by Edelbrock
You are probably right, I just want a simple plug and play. Don’t need to get every last mpg or hp. Happy to be rid of all the vacuum solenoids and original choke setup. Q jet has served the truck well for 36 years, time to retire it.
@@Mr.Frost181 Idle on an edelbrock should be super easy to fix, should take you 10 minutes on Google and 2 minutes in your truck to fix it. But most SBCs don't idle very high either way you look at it my my 350 sits out about 650 in gear

I’m here for you!!
Man
i have a 1405 Manual choke
Yup, same here. Manual choke only way to go. So simple, easy to adjust!
Yes sir👍
The AVS2 #1905 is a spread bore that doesn't require an adapter plate.
Maybe yours didn't need the adapter, mine did. Also, the linkage hits the manifold if there's no spacer/adapter.
Amazing video super helpful I’m doing my 360 fe 1974 f250 🙌🏼😩
With that carburetor spacer and the Edelbrock carburetor if you didn't have heat soak and vapor lock problems before. You definitely wont now
It’s a good plug and play carburetor!! Take care
A 350 can handle even a 650 cfm carb stock , 700 cfm is debatable but can handle with cam , intake and high compression pistons
Thank you 🙏🏾🔥🗣
U think a 750 cfm is too much? Because my spark plugs keep turning all black everytime I change them since I bought that carburator

It has hydroboost power steering/brakes. There's no brake booster to attach the vacuum line to
I'll take the Q-Jet if you still have it somewhere.
The truck and the carburetor is long gone. Sorry and good luck
I take that back, I thought this was in regards to my 85 Ford truck. I tossed the carburetor from the Chevrolet and still have the truck🤷🏼♂️
@@zmurray9499 😆 its cool dude. Nice looking square body btw. Maybe one day both of mine will look that good.
