Im new to the club and look forward to talking with other mopar fans. Question: My Carter AVS(on my 70' 383) has a tendency to burn holes through the gasket(above the float bowls) between the main body and the top of the carb. Is this a common problem w AVS's. Could this be caused by boiling fuel? Would another type/brand of carb work better. I initially wanted to keep the Carter for "originality" purposes but at this point , I would rather have a carb that works properly.
Also, a) which is better, electric or vacuum choke Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Mike

Hi Mike, I've never heard of gasket burning inside a carburetor. AVS is the same basic carb, as the AFB which is sold today by Edelbrock. Boiling fuel can't be the problem but backfires might but not inside the housing. Never heard of a vacuum choke(unless you are referring to the vac.pull-off), the OE thermal spring coil works well but the electric choke is a better setup & can overcome issues dealing with non OE carbs & intakes. See ya at the meeting & maybe the group can come up with a solution for you. Wade

I have a carter 625cfm on my 1977 360 and have never had that problem.

I would like to know why my 1977 360 dumps excessive fuel into #2 and #4 cylinders while compression testing.
