Torrance, Ca. — Edelbrock's Thunder and Performer Series Carburetors are now available with a bright finish called EnduraShine. This is an industry first for an industry-leading carburetor. You get proven performance and unsurpassed reliability with bright new looks that last and complement EnduraShine manifolds and accessories. Available only in select sizes, including 600 cfm Performer Series, #14054 and #14064, 500 cfm AVS, #18034, 18044, and our 650 AVS, #18054 and #18064, manual and electric choke respectively.

What is EnduraShine™? EnduraShine is a coating that provides the brilliance of chrome or a polished piece without the maintenance or the high price tag normally associated with polished or chrome. The secret to success of EnduraShine is its three-step coating process. First a base coat is applied for adhesion and smoothing properties. A second coat or metal coat is then applied in a high-tech vacuum chamber for a complete and consistent coat that is actually thinner than a human hair. The third and final coating includes a clear powder coat for the ultimate protection and durability. This all adds up to great looks, exceptional value and long-term durability.

Features Include:
Brilliant Shine…Won't oxidize, fade or discolor like chrome or polished Economical Alternative. Unique three step coating process that offers a show-quality finish for a fraction of the cost of chroming or polishing and is an environmentally friendly, Durable Finish. Easily cleans with soap and water and looks great with a coat of your favorite carnauba wax.

More about Edelbrock's Thunder Series AVS
and Performer Series Carbs

Several characteristics make Edelbrock carburetors outstanding street performers. The first one is that they use metering rods to transition between circuits. They are unaffected by engine backfires, which means that there are no power valves to blow out, and the rods can be changed in seconds without carburetor removal or fuel draining. Secondly, they have the unique ability to "hold a tune", so once they're tuned, they stay tuned. What this means to you is that compared to other carburetors, the performance remains consistent and the calibration stays unchanged. The lightweight all-aluminum body is compatible with gasohol and blended fuels, features a two piece body that resists warping and is ball-burnished for a bright finish. The simple tub-type bowls and rear-pivot floats all contribute to a carburetor that's reliable, user-friendly, and is easily tuneable for miles and miles of trouble-free operation.

Features and Benefits:

• Available in two styles: Performer Series and Thunder Series AVS.

• Edelbrock carburetors bolt on and run right out of the box.

• Dependable street performance and smooth throttle response throughout the power band.

• Float levels are factory set, adjustments are rarely needed.

• Two-piece design means no gaskets below the fuel level for leak-free operation.

• Get performance you can count on from a name you can trust, Edelbrock!
