Whisler Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Well I finally got my Edelbrock AVS installed on my truck. It fought me the whole way but I overcame by sheer stubbornness. It wasn't the carb. that caused problems but all the things you have to work around to install an Edelbrock carb. on a Ford. I bought the obligatory linkage and bracket kits and, of course, neither of them worked properly. I knew that was going to be a problem from all I have read here and on FTE, but didn't know where else to start. At least the bracket made a good template for the one I had to make with a hacksaw and file. Then there was the fuel system. Again fro reading here and FTE, I knew I needed a fuel pressure regulator. Mounting the regulator and running new fuel lines was a real PITA, but with a little help from the shop that works on my newer cars, I again overcame. Got everything hooked up today and had the wife work the ignition while I checked for fuel leaks and of course there were some but finally tracked them all down. The truck even fired up before I was ready. I did the necessary adjustments to choke, idle speed, fast idle speed and idle mixture , then took it for a drive. AND IT RAN GREAT. Woo hoo!!! I guess the carb. was worth the $100 I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Congrat's! It is always a good feeling when you persevere - and win. And $100 for an AVS is a great price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 That must be exciting! I'm glad to hear it is running well for you. I like my AVS 650 on the 460. I just wish it had some more on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
