Everything I have been reading from Edelbrock, including online and in the manual, says to NOT connect the choke to the alternator. ran a wire to the fuse block, connecting to one of the fuses not being used (radio, in my case).

Thanks, guys. I'll do some driving around/testing tomorrow when I have time. Anyone know the best place to wire in the electric choke? I've heard some plug into the ballast resistor. However, I'm not sure that a good idea. I'm going to try to find someplace on the fuseblock.

Car is a '68 Imperial with a 440. Instead or rebuilding the original carb, I decided to change to an Edelbrock AVS2. I believe I have everything set up correctly, as it runs and idles great. I still have to hook up the electric choke, but I will try to find a place at the fuse box under the...

I forget the correct nomenclature. I would guess it's more of a "hesitation". When you accelerate from a stop, the engine acts like it is going to stall for a second, then works fine, especially if you let off the gas a little.

One more thing... I think I may just go to a new Edelbrock carb, as I was thinking doing that next year anyway. Is it your opinion that the AVS2 is better than the Performer AFB? Maybe it just doesn't really make a difference for a big c-body anyway. Since I currently have a 750 cfm Carter on it...

The last time I replaced an accelerator pump with one from Napa, the thing failed within a couple hundred miles. The valve material on the assembly looked like it was made of dried out leather. I thought a modern one from Edelbrock would work better.

Here is a little tidbit... has anyone ever replaced the original accelerator pump in a Carter with a new one from Edelbrock:

Yeah... I was told that. Apparently, the original Holley carb was replaced at the dealer in '69. Any idea what the cfm is for this Carter?

Isn't the AVS2 a spreadbore carb, and the AFB the squarebore? Wouldn't you need to get some type of adapter to use the AVS on the stock '68 440 manifold? -Gregg B.

Fuel tank was boiled out/cleaned like 6 years ago. New sending unit was installed at that time as well.

Stock Carter. Part number below:

The engine is a stock '68 440 non-HP 350hp. It has also been converted to electronic ignition a few years ago. I'm starting to get some hesitation on acceleration from a stop. The harder you try to accelerate, the more pronounced the hesitation. The engine runs great at idle. The engine also...

'67 Fury I on the left, '68 Fury I on the right...

Not many pictures taken there. I try to take a bunch next year...

I bit the bullet and got it done. It was VERY pricey, but it looks beautiful:

Just a quick question on the '66-'68 Tilt-Telescopic steering wheels. Are the wheels all interchangeable between years? I'm not talking about the columns...just the steering wheel itself. -Gregg B.

Here is what my steering wheel looks like now.

Mine is a gold translucent material...kind of looks like amber. So, filling with JB Weld and painting is not an option.

Yeah...it's not in that great of shape, as it has a couple prominent cracks. No pieces are missing though. It is one of those clear/translucent wheels in a gold/amber color, so I have the feeling I'm relegated to the most expensive options to restore it.

Is THAT what the off smell is in the car? I thought it was just old car smell...
