    Carb Opinion

    Last year i changed out the carb on my 1977 GMC C15 to an edelbrock and threw the Rochester Quadrajet on the shelf.

    Looking for a recommendations for fuel pressure regulator for my 1977 GMC C15 stock 350 engine, mechanical fuel pump, and edelbrock 1906 AVS2 carb. Using one currently that doesn’t seem consistent. Set it at 4.5 and it seems to fluctuate between 3.5 and 6.5 - less than 1 yr old. Thoughts?

    AFR Gauge Confusion

    Trying to set up an Edelbrock 1906 on 1977 GMC with 350 (all stock) and confused about what AFR gauge is telling me. At idle (750 rpm) it reads anywhere from 12-12.6. At cruising, (1800 rpm @ 60mph) it reads 14.2-15.0. I have not been able to get close to 14.6 at idle by changing rods in the...

    TH 350 shift issues

A little background- I recently finished a 1 year rebuild of the truck but did not touch the...
