r1lark Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I'll take a shot at this and say true, since I would think that the current offerings (for example: https://avantiparts.biz/accelerator-pump-seal-r-2-avanti-lark-hawk/) are of a better design and material.

64studeavanti Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I thought the R2 seal was the same as the Edelbrock marine carb seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
