A quick search of the forum archives will turn up several hours' worth of reading on the differences in AFB's and Edelbrocks. There's no sense beating that dead horse any more- - - -it's about as flat as a postage stamp already. Listen to Carb King, and pay close attention - - - - -he has far more knowledge on the subject than I do, and since he owns a lot of the original Carter manufacturing equipment and is in the business of making exact duplicates of their repair kits, I take his word as gospel. If anything, he has a lower opinion of Edelbrocks than I do.
