What makes this carburetor hold its tune so well?

This Edelbrock carburetor uses metering rods for transitions between circuits instead of power valves. This design helps it maintain its calibration over time, so once you tune it, it stays tuned for consistent performance.

What is the advantage of the all-aluminum body?

The two-piece all-aluminum body is lightweight and resists warping, which is crucial for maintaining a good seal. It's also compatible with gasohol and blended fuels, offering more fuel flexibility.

Does this carburetor come with everything needed for installation?

This carburetor is sold individually. While it includes the main carburetor assembly, you may need to purchase additional installation hardware, gaskets, or fuel lines separately depending on your specific vehicle and setup. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for details.

Product Details

Starting with its all-aluminum, two-piece body, this Edelbrock Performer Series carburetor is built to resist warping, even under the demands of daily driving. This construction also means it's compatible with gasohol and blended fuels, giving you more flexibility. The 500 CFM rating is well-suited for a wide range of street performance applications, and the manual choke setup offers precise control over cold starts.

What really sets this carburetor apart is its ability to "hold a tune." Unlike some other carburetors that can drift out of calibration, the Performer Series uses metering rods for transitions between circuits. This design means there are no power valves to blow out from engine backfires, and you can adjust the rods quickly without removing the carburetor or draining the fuel. Once you dial it in, it stays dialed in, providing consistent performance mile after mile.

The simple tub-type bowls and rear-pivot floats contribute to a user-friendly experience, making it easier to tune and maintain for reliable, trouble-free operation. This carburetor is made in the U.S.A. and is a solid option for many classic vehicles, including models like the 1966 AC Cobra, 1978 Buick Regal, and 1985 Chevrolet Camaro.
