Need a lil help to ID Edelbrock carburetor

[TAZZ]

I'm at work 100 miles out in the Gulf Of Mexico so I'm working off pictures my wife sent me. I want to ID the carb so I can find a rebuild kit and have it at home when I get there. I've looked at hundreds of pictures on the net but I don't want to guess. The car has been sitting up for 2 years. I know there are plenty of other things to do and I want to try and have parts at home when I get there. Thanks

It is an edelbrock AVS. They make a couple of different models, and I don't know if they all have the same kit. There should be a number on the base in front of the hold down bolt on the left side looking from the front.

Copied from here. She'll have to get you this pic. This is a 9636SA.

It seems like edelbrock # 1477 kit is used for all afb and avs type carbs.

It is the Edelbrock performer series 600 cfm 1406 model. And R/T Boy 67 you are correct about the rebuild kit. Thanks guys.

Not that it matters, as far as a kit is concerned, but the carb in your picture is an AVS type. The 1406 is not.

The edelbrock AFB and AVS type carbs are basically the same, so it might be possible that the top was swapped.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference. I did some research and found out. Thanks though

The secondary section of and AVS has a spring loaded air door... The AFB has a similar door but it is deeper into the carb below the venturis & it uses counter balance weights... I'll dig up pictures..
