'Did We Miss Something At The '1967' Dodge Rebellion, And Did We Now Catch '1968' Dodge Fever'

Part 2

The 1968 Charger 383 Carburetor is a new design Carter AVS, that carries an 'advertised' CFM rating of 625,
(true rating of 637 CFM's). This vacuum secondary operated Carburetor has 1 7/16" Primary Throttle-body openings,
but has larger 1 11/16" Secondaries for increased air/gas flow mixture.

The 1967 Charger 383 is equipped with the sometimes 'pesky' Carter AFB, which carries a 575 CFM rating. This
carburetor also utilizes a 1 7/16" Primary, but has a smaller 1 9/16" Secondary Throttle-body opening.The
'mechanical' secondaries can be problematic at times, letting the mixture get 'too lean'.

The new' Carter AVS (Air-Valve Secondary) utilizes an 'air-valve' for the secondaries. As the throttle is opened,
air-vacuum slowly pulls down on the secondary throttle plates. This way, the mixture is kept from getting 'too lean'.
This also improves the all important 'Venturi-Effect'.

There is no change from the 1967 Charger 383 Dual-Snorkel and the 'new' 1968 Charger 383 Dual-Snorkel Air Cleaner.
