Steve, Just got off the phone with AED. The HO Modified uses a 750 body, and the salesman told me that it did not have enough venturi area for my 455. I ordered the 1000HO. It should work really well on my engine. http://www.aedperformance.com/HO.htm
Don't look now Alan he is pulling on you :3gears: LARRY What he say about running adapt plate on performer does it hurt flow?

John, Any time we get attention from the aftermarket it's greatly appreciated. I've heard only positives regarding AED. Devon
Thanks Devon: Obviously the V8 Buick Forum is a hidden gem. I've been reading through the posts tonight & am really impressed with the knowledge, civility, & true comradory present here. There's such an air of positive thinking that this should be a model for other forums to follow. Again thanks for welcoming me to your community. I promise to do everything possible to earn your trust & be a helpful member of this community. All My Best John Dickey AED Performance
I have one ? concerning this topic. When I installed my bbb in my car a few months back, I did'nt plumb a fuel return back to the tank. I'm not having any problems,but I am running a 950 Quickfuel also. My concern is if I put a 750 edel on just to finish the winter (no chock on 950) do you think I would have problem with to much fuel for the 750? I also have a stage1 fuel pump.
Hi Dariggs: You shouldn't have any problem at all. Most of the mechanical pumps have less than 7psi fuel pressure which will be fine for the Edelbrock. All the fuel metering is handled by the carburetor so unless you have probably over 8psi (doubtful) you will be fine. Good Luck John
aedmonster, Thanks for taking time to come to our board. Your carbs are great, but you being on here to answer any questions makes things even better! I have only heard good things locally about your product and I will now join the team. The carb on my car works much better than my former Demon. John
To Bad67GS: No it doesn't use annular boosters. We have found the annular boosters with this carburetor has some issues unless you add an additional fuel circuit (Intermediate circuit) like on a Dominator. With some manifolds there's distribution issues with this body shape & annular boosters. We have run into this with BB Chevy's in testing. With the annular booster fanned spray pattern there appears to be a wall attachment issue with certain intakes & spacers so we stay away from them with the large HP mainbody. I'm just making an educated guess about the wall attachment but you see it in the exhaust temps as they move all around. A booster change or an intermediate circuit dials it right out. The intermediate circuit works great, but the added cost of metering blocks & additional machining runs the price up too much for a Pro-Street type carburetor. We also make our own Billet Boosters for this app. that make some additional torque & power with this configuration. We have found the booster Holley uses for there 1000 to also have some issues with reduced signal strength especially with bad air, so we use a different booster in our 1000HO carb. The different booster will broaden the band & increase acceleration which is the key, even more important than power. Hope this helps. Take Care John Dickey AED Performance
Is a 1000 carb also possible on a stock BBB engine 430ci for more power? Will it have more power when i just change with the original quadrajet? Or do i have to do more modifications first?
Got My AED 1000HO today Got the carb today. It will be awhile until I get everything together and plumbed the way I want. Here's some pictures.
Re: Got My AED 1000HO today Looks beautiful Larry i`m ordering mine tomorrow,just one thing that i noticed,i thought they come with the clear sight plugs on the side to check fuel float level? Thanks
Re: Got My AED 1000HO today John told me that they had alot of problems with them "melting" in the Northeast. It isn't the ethanol, but some other additive in the gas here.
