Hey guys, going to run edel avs2 1906 on my 300, 440. The carter was gone, no bolts or studs to mount carb. What should I use or does it matter and should I run an adaptor plate? Advice helpful. Thanks.
Order the Mopar linkage adaptor from Edelbrock to fit the new Carb.Yes sir, that particular avs2, the bottom does have 2 different size plates, my junk carter does not. My concern is stud length and linkage issue from carter to edelbrock. My intake is factory.
Thanks for that info, makes it easier to decide!Order the Mopar linkage adaptor from Edelbrock to fit the new Carb.
You can also use a 1 inch carb spacer that comes with matching threaded studs.
The reason for my spacer suggestion is it helps keep the carb cooler and also a few more ft.lbs. of torque.
Plenty of hood clearance with either factory or aftermarket air cleaner.
Hope this helps.

Really appreciate all the help!Both bolt patterns are on aftermarket carbs, usually, NOT the OEM carbs.
800 cfmI think rear port is needed for my brake booster. Whats cfm of that carb?
I used 1970 factory square bore intake. Performer RPM intake did not fit under 1970 Fury hood with 1913 AVS2 and factory dual snorkel air cleanerI just checked out that model at summit, looks to be a spread bore, my intake is stock square bore. Thanks for the heads up on gasket and hardware info
I used 2 inch studs with AV2 and Felpro 60123 gasket. Left about .5 inch above the nuts.Yes sir, that particular avs2, the bottom does have 2 different size plates, my junk carter does not. My concern is stud length and linkage issue from carter to edelbrock. My intake is factory
You know youre right, after said that my 60 yr old brain had a flash back! Now need to get that port plug.Btw, on a 68 the brake booster vacuum hose goes to a port in the back of the intake behind the carb.

I thought the port plug came with the Edelbrock carb. No?You know youre right, after said that my 60 yr old brain had a flash back! Now need to get that port plug.
Not through summit, avs2 1906, plugged is not included.I thought the port plug came with the Edelbrock carb. No?
Ill find out as soon new carb arrives, the pic of the back of carb does show a threaded port maybe 5/16 or 3/8., where plug will need to go im assuming.When buying an aftermarket intake manifold, lots of little small parts and plugs are included in the install kit. Similar with carburetors, but the plugs are usually to put in the carb itself, like some carbs have a hole in the rear of the base for power brake vacuum on GM cars, so a plug would be in that kit to plug that hole if not needed, I believe. IF that plug will also fit in the intake manifold vac hole, then it could be installed there instead (with some sealer on the threads).
Enjoy!
