[DeTomaso] REPLACMENT CARB ?

[jderyke at aol.com]

Any carb Bob Oliver touches is NOT remotely the same as an out-of-the-box Avenger. On my 650 doubler pumper, Bob made over 15 changes from box-stock and I suspect he did as much to your carb. So if you pull a carb out of the box and expect to bolt it on your Cleveland without alterations, avoid the Avenger series.

A previous comment seemed to find fault with the avenger series from Holley. 

That has not been my experience. A likely stock 670 CFM avenger was on 2511 when purchased. I set the fuel bowl  levels and then proceeded to drive over 50,000 miles without touching that carburetor. It was mounted to an Edelbrock performer on a 30 over rebuild. Dyno was 295 RWHP

On my current 404 stroked Cleveland I sent a new in the box 670 avenger to Bob Oliver at Competition Carburetion in Nevada. He blueprinted it, upgraded the discharge nozzles  and found a flow of 710 CFM when he was finished.

That carburetor was mounted to a blue thunder intake and 4V aluminum heads from CHI in Australia. Mild camshaft with compression of about 9.3 It delivers 454 FWHP. 

YMMV
