383 Commando Package question

[SoCalExile]

Any updates?

I have a '65 Commando 383 that I'd like to make into a driver/sleeper as well.

I was just reading a Car Craft article about a hopped up 383. The added 750cfm carb, eldebrock intake manifold, headers, and a cam. They claimed 405 hp on the dyno,but I don't know about that. I have all the same stuff minus the cam.

Here is the article from my post above, interesting read....

Pre 1968's had an AFB.
In the '68 model year, these were changed to an AVS with the exception of the Hemi.

The carburetors look similar, at a glance but, the AFB has seperate air/fuel mixture adjustment screws and the AVS has a single air/fuel adjustment screw.

From what I understand, the change was made from the AFB to the AVS to allow for coming emission standards and the AVS burns leaner at idle.
