What is the purpose of metering rods in a carburetor?

Metering rods control the amount of fuel that flows through the main jets of a carburetor. As the throttle opens, the rods move, changing the effective size of the jet opening and thus adjusting fuel delivery based on engine vacuum and throttle position.

Can these metering rods be used on any Edelbrock carburetor?

No, these specific metering rods are designed exclusively for Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS carburetors. It's important to verify your carburetor model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

What does the .070 x .057 measurement refer to?

These measurements refer to the diameter of the metering rod at two different points along its length. The varying diameters are what allow the rod to precisely control fuel flow as it moves within the carburetor's main jet.

About this part

Product Details

These Edelbrock metering rods measure .070 inches on one end and .057 inches on the other. They are specifically made for Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS carburetors, acting as a crucial part of your fuel system's calibration. By changing these rods, you can adjust how much fuel your carburetor delivers at different throttle positions, helping you fine-tune your engine's performance.

When you're rebuilding or tuning your carburetor, these rods are essential for getting the air-fuel mixture just right. They work inside the carburetor's main body, controlling the flow of fuel through the main jets. Having the correct metering rods can make a notable difference in how your engine runs, from idle all the way up to wide-open throttle.

This pair is designed to fit only the Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS carburetors. Make sure your carburetor model is compatible before purchasing.
