Edelbrock 1453 Performer Series Metering Rods .071 x .047 Inch Pair

The Edelbrock 1453 metering rods are precision-engineered replacement components designed for Edelbrock Performer Series and Thunder Series AVS carburetors. These metering rods feature a stepped diameter design with .071 inch primary and .047 inch secondary measurements, allowing for precise fuel metering control across different engine loads and throttle positions.

Key Features:

• Stepped metering rod design: .071" x .047" diameter
• Compatible with Performer Series and Thunder Series AVS carburetors
• Sold as a matched pair (quantity 2)
• Precision-manufactured for accurate fuel delivery
• Direct replacement for tuning and calibration

Metering rods are critical tuning components that control fuel flow from the main metering jets. The larger .071" section restricts fuel flow at lower engine vacuum conditions (cruise and light throttle), while the smaller .047" section allows increased fuel flow when the spring-loaded rods lift under higher vacuum or power demand. Changing metering rod sizes allows you to fine-tune air-fuel ratios for optimal performance, fuel economy, and drivability.
