    Our Holley needed to be jetted down a couple sizes, but even so, stock, it runs really well out-of-the-box w/ an Edelbrock Performer 4bbl manifold.
    The stock secondary springs are too stiff for the vacuum signature of a near-stock AMC 360. The 670cfm carb is borderline too much carb for a near-stock AMC 360cid, but Holley sells a really cool tune-up kit w/ a variety of springs and jets. Thus, the TruckAvenger can be made to work with a 360 handily. It takes a bit of fiddling and tinkering, but I don't mind.
    I had to enrich the mixture as well, the carb was a bit too lean from the factory, but on the highway, the truck gets pretty decent MPG.
    Stop-an-go is a real MPG killer. I'd estimate our is Hwy 13-15MPG, City 8MPG.
    Up/down the steep German hills, the TruckAvenger/360 just chugs away, no worries. I've even gotten into a couple odd off-camber spots whilst two-tracking, and the carb didn't miss a beat.
    Why do I carry a gun? Because a whole cop would be too heavy.

      i am using the offy 360 degree intake with 600 cfm holley carb...it has much more throttle response than performer or torker with the same carb for what it is worth

        So far the only thing I don't like about my holley truck avenger is the lack of a bowl vent tube that can be piped into the evap system. (stinks like gas on hot shutdown) Otherwise the carb is fairly easy to adjust.

          I just installed a 2132 intake and 1400 carb on my J20.
