Re jetting Carter AFB
Is it possible to use Edlebrock main jets and needles in a Carter AFB Carburettor. My 64 Coupe Deville runs duel straight through exhaust and this makes the mixture week in mid range and top end. How can I improve fuelling.

Do this — Call the Edelbrock techs regarding your problem
Give them the numbers on you primary and secondary jets and your metering rods
The parts are the same for both carbs
You will find they are very very helpful “performance guys “
You will need to be checking your spark plug color after your adjustments
Your mixture WB right when your plugs burn a brown paper bag color
I would do a complete tune including ign wires to have the engine on tune spec ( vacuum issue free ) and then do the jetting as I did do on my own 64 429
Enjoy

Robin, if you are dead serious on getting the mixture right and the car tuned perfectly, pick up an Edelbrock air to fuel mixture monitor. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-6593?seid=srese1&gclid=E...
I put a bung in my 63 and 72 chevy truck.

So my 63 guide matic headlamps stay on low beam all the time. I have so far bypassed the system and everything works normal. I have been thru the trouble shooting in the manual but this is where the confusion begins.on my car when the power relay is powered I have low beam and when its not powered I have highbeam, this appears to be opposite what the diagnosis says should be correct.The wiring is all original and no wires have been mixed up.has anyone ever unplugged the 2 wire connector…

Having tried both the II and III I can say the multispark feature of the III offers a smoother idle . It is also easier to install .Does not require removal of the distributor

I hope someone can help solve these two electrical problems that appeared one after the other.
By way of background: The car, a '64 Eldorado has very limited use. It was at a restoration shop for 15 months until last January- that supposedly did a bunch of wiring repairs including rebuilding the gas gauge that still hasn't worked properly, and the clock that hasn't worked, and re-soldering the broken wires in the drive door. All window and seat controls appear to be…
