Has any one used one of these carbs? I was out wheeling with my jeep and I cant take the pos edelbrock that is on it any more. The carb is good on the street and mild trails but is awful when I start to go up anyting really steep. I am going to go with a propane set up over the winter but need a good carb for offroad now to hold me over till then.

Lowrider Avenger. It can take nasty angles and not starve the engine. Either that or a giant Tillotson:D

I looked up the carb and it has the same specs as the truck avenger except it seems to be polished to a chrome look.

went from a regular 650 holley, truck avenger and tried my JET stage 2 quadrajet and i really appreciate my qjet. seems to run better for longer off camber.

I run one on my Flattie, my dad runs one on his, my sister has one on her CJ-5, and Ihave one on my 69 Ford 4x4. They work pretty well...They aren't completely perfect but what carb is?

I put a 670 on my 351w before going EFI. Like jeepermc said they work pretty good,but arent perfect. Hence the EFI ;)

I'm working on throwing an injected 5.0 in place of my warmed 289...I ran a 670 on my 289, Sis's CJ has a 670 on a low compression 304 (read: worn out)...Dad's Flattie has a 470 on a mild 283 Chev and my P/U has a mild 410FE with a 670...

Not injection but better than most carbs out there...

In a word - Weber! Best carbs ever made.;)

I had a problem getting my idle correct but I think it is all fixed now. I must say that after I put it on I ran down the street to a quarry near my house and I ran it up some sick climbs with out a hitch. Stuff I had a hard time with before due to the old carb.
