Metering rods are a tunable component that allows you to fine-tune your carburetor's air-fuel mixture for optimal performance. The two-step design features a thicker upper section (.073") that restricts fuel flow during light throttle conditions, and a thinner lower section (.047") that allows increased fuel flow when the metering rod lifts during acceleration. Replacing worn or switching to different diameter metering rods is a common tuning method to optimize fuel delivery for different engine combinations, altitude conditions, or performance requirements.

These genuine Edelbrock metering rods ensure proper fit and function with your AVS carburetor, maintaining the precise fuel metering characteristics that Edelbrock carburetors are known for.
