I had one on my 65 Corvette. Great carb for just a driver. Never sputtered or hesitated.

Presently have an Autolite 4100 (1.12 venturis) that is tuned for the 347 in my car. I am looking for something with a higher cfm capacity. The AVS2 caught my attention, but I haven't seen any reviews of the AVS2 on engines with a low vacuum signal that would be simulate, or be comparable to, the 347. Although the fuel air ratios are good with the Autolite, some circuits run a little rich and some run a little lean. I think that the AVS2 will provide more tuning options in the idle through low mid range.

I don't have a choke on the Autolite and would like to have a manual choke for morning start ups. I am a fan of annular boosters and that is why I installed the Autolite so many years ago. 

 

My only issue with the Edelbrock Carbs is they just loo wrong on a Ford. But with my truck I installed an older style air breather so no one can see it.

Send me a PM with an email and I'll send you all the details and photos, It has been and is a great truck, but it's going up for sale at the Street Rod Nationals this weekend in Louisville KY.

Everyone says I have it priced too low for what it is, but we will see.

Eddy carb....650cfm would be a good fit. Air dam design on the secondaries will regulate when the secondaries 'come-in' to keep an over-active right foot from creating a big 'bog' when/if you floor-the-pedal at too low engine RPM. Tune up kit for Eddy carbs have a variety of springs-jets-metering rods to fine tune any 'snotty idling SBF'.(trust me!)  Tune up chart to get the parameters just right are available on line too.
Manuel choke 'I tink' is available also.
Hint.....ignition timing curve is VERY important to get everything to idle right and to turn your Mustang into a low flying cruise missile !
BIG cams like lotsa initial timing...butt-knott too much total timing
(dependent on how well your heads flow...AFR's for example flow better than GT-40 heads so would need less total timing)
