Just Wondering If You Guys Can Recommend a Quality 650 cfm Carb For My 340 Engine. Not A Double Pumper Style..

Was Looking At The Edelbrock Avs2 But They Have Nothing In Stock n Haven’t For The Past Year.

Thanks

When you say "not a double pumper style", are you meaning no double pumper or no "square bore"?
 
If you're looking for spread bore, Holley also makes them.
Part # 42509895

Holley 0-9895 Spreadbore Carburetor, 650 CFM

Consider installing the origional Carter carb, assuming its an AVS, depending on the year or if you are trying to maintain an origional appearance or not. The 340 engine used a Carter Thermoquad design begining in 1972. Its air flow capacity, depending on model, could be as high as 750 CFM. The small bore primary big secondary design offeres EXCELLENT throttle response yet high air flow capacity. Personally, I'm not enamored with the Edelbrock/Weber (aka "Eddy's) offerings, other than low first cost. What's wrong the origional carb? Just my opinion of course.....

Since you're considering an Edelbrock (aka Eddy), which is a copy of the origional Carter (AFB or AVS depending on model), possessing the same "tuning ability" as the origional Carter, why not use an origional carb. Retrofitting involves cobbling up the fuel line and fittings (don't use hoses and gear clamps), getting the choke to work (either an electric design or manual), adapting the throttle linkage and getting the air cleaner yo fit. An origional Carter carb is not any more difficult to tune than Holley or Quickfuel (which resembles a Holley model 4150 or 4160 depending on capacity). Both Holley and Quickfuel designs require torally different tuning techniques and parts and knowledge. There is no "panacea" that makes one brand better than the other......in spite of what you've been told or read. 95% of the "out of the box" carbs will need "tuned" to your specific installation.

Mopar Action had a good article on Carbs. I got rid of the Q jet we had on our 1985 350 Dodge camper van. Put a thermoquad on the 360, and couldn’t be happier. More performance and way better mileage.
