mfg Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 The carburetor used on the '65-'66 Avanti ll's was the early, non-electronic, Rochester Quadra-Jet....True?
Gunslinger Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Nope...Avanti Motors was installing Carter AFB's for the first couple of years. Corvettes didn't get Quadrajets until '68 so Avanti Motors would have transitioned following that. While Avanti Motors was installing AFB's on the 327/300 crate engines they bought from GM, Corvettes were using Holley carbs on the same engines. It seems strange to do it that way, but either the Avanti people were comfortable with the AFB or it may simply have been a cost matter.
mfg Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Posted August 5, 2014 Right on the nose....Carter AFB's it was!
RQA025 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 My 67 with 327 300 hp. have a holley 3810
mfg Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Posted August 10, 2014 My 67 with 327 300 hp. have a holley 3810 And it should have!....Between the time the Carter was discontinued and the Rochester was picked up, some Avanti ll's were equipped with Holleys carbs from the factory.
