Opinion on rebuild or replace.  Charger with 383 has the original  Carter AVS .
Been sitting long time.  Have it rebuilt or replace. Is it cost effective to have it rebuilt. I appreciate the input

My vote would be that if you like the way it operated (which I assume will be yes) then go ahead and rebuild. 

You can also probably find someone else to do it, but I would use it as an opportunity to learn.  You also are pretty sure it is metered correctly for your car.

I am also assuming there is a high quality rebuild kit for Carter carburetors and someone here who can guide you to it. 

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

I purchased the kit and a few pieces of hardware for my AVS from Carbjunkys in Ga. They also replated the linkage and levers. Great people to deal with.  Jim is the AVS expert.
