Trying to find my weed and
How about for a well built 318 in the 300hp range? Can get the carb for $25 and it needs a rebuild. Figured I'd pick up a good kit and make it one of my winter projects. Never rebuilt one before so I'm thinking it would be a good learning experience for low $'s if nothing else.
68R/T
I got drunk and swallowed my teeth, now
Trying to get 300hp from a 600cfm would be stretching it.
You'd be better of with the Carter AVS design rather than the Eddy AFB.
The AVS's are a little easier to fine tune because of the spring loaded secondary air baffle.
Here's a few Carter 650's;

All 3 of those, (4966) are originally from '71 lo-po 440's. They are factory rated at 650cfm. The market seems to be flooded with 4966's. They are very adequate for up to 350 hp and because of their design it is impossible to over-carb. I'm running 2 of the 4966's on my stock '18 in the 4dr blue 68 Coronet in the banner.
More than it needs, yes. But they only open the secondaries as far as the engine can handle.
They are quite easy to rebuild and tune. The only real "problem" with them is wear in the throttle-shaft bores. It can be fixed by machining and pressing in bushings.
The overall design is such a "no-brainer" that 99.99% of the time they work perfect "out-of-the-box"
