Edelbrock Carb 1404
This week end I'll get HEI, new plugs and wires.
The next step is carb and intake. I need sugestions. Pure stock 350

Agreed, Edelbrock 600 electric choke, no problems and a pretty good price to boot!

You can't go wrong with a 1406 and a performer intake.

How do they handle offroad at angles?

They have an offroad spring kit, I have not had any problems with mine and I was running my truck on the Dunes with some serious inclines with no problems but if it is 4X4 I recommend getting the kit cinch to install.

The one I had on my 83K5 worked great. But adding the offroad kit is a good idea.

Never cared for the performer intakes personally, think their overated.
The Edelbrock carbs run okay but I like the way a real/original Carter AFB runs better. All depends on the set up though... |

If you get the two side by side, there's noticable differences. I have two blazers, pretty much the same set up, motor/gears ect...one has a Edlebrock carb and a Performer manifold, the other has a Carter carb and a Holley Contender manifold. The one running the Carter/Holley set up IMO runs way better and has more seat of the pants power to it, better response too. Changing over the first one to a Carter/Holley street dominator set up soon. It's sitting on the bench waiting for me to get the time.

Hey while were on the topic, has anyone had any experience with the edelbrock thunder avs off road (or whatever its name is). My buddy has a 650 one he is willing to sell me cheap since it was too small for his motor. Any goods or bads, im guessing anyhting is better they my q-jet.

Wingman: I have no operational experience with the AVS, but I hear they are OK. I picked up a Carter AVS and ran the numbers on the stovebolt site and some one came back that mine was for a Mopar 440 big block. "AVS" means adjustable vacuum secondary.
