Will a stock Carter AVS fuel line fit a new Eddy Thunder AVS Carb?

[Mfr426]

Hey all, I'm considering purchasing a new AVS Thunder carb if my stock AVS can not be resessitated this week. I have a stock fuel line to the Carter now that I paid good money for to keep the stock look. I see that Eddy says in the install instructions that you MUST install a new fuel line to replace your stock steel line but this is a universal fit carb too so I'm not sure if that applies to EVERY car? They talk about Chebby and Chrysler Thermoquad carbs but dont mention old AVS carbs so I dont know where that leaves me.

The fuel intake looks to be in the same spot as a stock Carter AVS. If I need a fitting that would make sense but can anyone confirm if they still used their factory steel lines when doing this swap? I HATE the look of rubber fuel line on a fairly stock looking motor. I guess I want the best of both worlds (story of my life).

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

not sure

I just did this to a eddy performer. Just take the inlet fitting from your AVS and swap it to the eddy.

Yes, but you will most likely need the reducer fitting.

Dan, you're correct and that is what I ended up doing. I used a Eddy reducer and it worked. I'm not sure why they just dont tell you to use a reducer vs. telling you to convert to a rubber fuel line?

Thanks Guys.

So the Performer can use the stock inlet only and the Thunder needs a reducer as well.

I got the AFB which I guess is the Performer (it's not an AVS). I pulled the stock fitting put put in an AVS fitting and a reducer. My car is a 383 so the fuel line is a 5/16 vs the 3/8 of the larger carbs.
