    e: Tech week! <hr style="color: rgb(229, 229, 229); background-color: rgb(229, 229, 229);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> [​IMG] boost reference edelbrock AFB carbs
    <hr style="color: rgb(229, 229, 229); background-color: rgb(229, 229, 229);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> This is how I modified my 2 500 Edelbrock AFB carbs on my blown 354 Hemi.

    The modification allows the carbs to get the true vacuum signal under boost. Without boost ref carbs the motor can be making boost and pulling a vacuum on the base of carb (blower sucking) and the metering rods are pulled down and lean out the mixture, when you need the opposite. This happens most when your throttle plates are not completely wide open and your blower is just starting to make boost,

    Machined up a 5/8" aluminum base plate, cross drill the plate with long 5/32 drill. Drill and tap base for 1/8" NPT thread. JB weld the notch in secondaries so vacuum signal will only pull from blower manifold. get a 4 hole carb gasket and punch new holes to reach power valve ports, ( in middle of throttle holes) Plum with 1/4" tubing. It works very well tested it with 2 vacuum gauges.

    I put 50 miles on the car since I modified it.
    It was too hard to read both vacuum gauges under boost and also drive, because when it comes on the boost (7PSI) its hang on. I need to test with a co-pilot. I have a LM-1 A/F meter I will connect back up and report back. The Edelbrock metering pistons are not like Holley they don't blow out. I have 5" metering spring on it. It does seem to run smoother off idle, I don't have a reason why, because under no boost it should act the same. I still have tuning to do, thats why LM-1 going back on. I thought about this a lot and I could see at not full throttle opening and under boost before modification it could be possible for the metering rods to see vacuum from the blower sucking and run lean .

    32 Ford 354 Hemi, 6-71, 2 afb 500cfm carbs, 114deg. blower cam, 5sp. Tremec, QC. front carb pri.jets .082, metering rods .053-.066, sec jets .098, rear carb pri jets .086, rods .058-.071, sec jets .095

    You had already posted that tech like a month ago. So I don't know if it would qualify. I merely list the "new" tech threads that show up during a tech week.
