Carter AFB Carburetor Metering Rods & Jets
Metering rods (also called step up rods) & jets for the Carter AFB, AVS & Edelbrock, 4 barrel carburetors.
Common metering rod questions:
- AFB metering rods are two-step rods and replace the 16-??? OE Carter part numbers
- All sizes currently manufactured are listed on the site, many sizes are no longer made (we recommend adjusting jets rather than rods if you're changing for elevation)
- No, we don't have three-step rods and no, we don't know if anyone is making them
Common jet questions:
- Jets are sized by the actual hole size in 1/1000". Replaces the OE Carter 120- ??? part numbers.
- We do not recommend changing jets based on current fuel
- If your spark plugs are dark/wet, you need to decrease your jet size
- If your spark plugs are light/white you need to increase your jet size
- Elevations over 5000' generally require you to reduce the size of your jet (1 size per 1000')
Strip (performance) kits are manufactured based on Edelbrock numbers, we can not recommend a kit for your specific AFB number. To determine which one you need, find the size currently in your carburetor and choose a kit based on your needs. All included sizes are listed in the kit descriptions.
