My kit came with a Culver prop. Used it for years. It is a good prop.

Avid Kits came with Culver props at one point.  I had one on a 582 3-1 gearbox setup in my first MK IV.  74"X49.  Lots of prop, but it was right for the plane.  At some point after that, the current owners bought Culver props.  Jim Chuk

I have one of those early Culver props that I believe came with a 532 on an Avid. I think it is a 71x37. I tried it once on a 532. It worked Ok but the engine was having timing issues so I swapped to a 582. I have a 2.58:1 box. I do plan to try the Culver again one of these days to compare the performance to the 68" GSC ground adjustable that I have been flying with.
